Kogi Cable Vandalism: NSCDC’s Swift Action Leads to Arrests
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested three suspects in Kogi State for their alleged involvement in criminal conspiracy and cable vandalism.
The suspects are accused of stealing electrical cables, which are vital for the state’s power infrastructure, leading to significant losses and disruption of services.
Cable theft and vandalism have been major concerns in Nigeria, causing not only economic damage but also severe inconveniences to communities that depend on these services.
The NSCDC has emphasized the importance of maintaining law and order around public utilities and infrastructure, and the arrest of these suspects is part of the ongoing efforts to combat such crimes.
Authorities are expected to continue investigating the suspects’ activities and may expand their search for other individuals involved in similar crimes.
The government and security agencies are increasingly focusing on protecting critical national infrastructure from theft and vandalism, which have become persistent issues across the country.
