The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kwara state on Tuesday paraded two suspected vandals Waheed Ganiyu and Mojeed Afolabi for allegedly vandalising rail tracks in Kwara state.
The incident was said to have occurred on the 26th of this month.
Parading the suspects in Ilorin, the state capital, NSCDC spokesperson Olasunkanmi Ayeni said that: “We are all aware about the efforts of the Federal Government to put our rail system into use and to ensure that our transportation system in Nigeria is being taken to another levels.
“But we have some criminals who do not believe in this vision and who are hell-bent on making all efforts of the Federal Government in futility. At our end we are on guard to ensure these criminals who want to make Nigeria uncomfortable are being brought to book.
“On Friday August 26th, 2022 three suspects were arrested while vandalising rail tracks along Ogbondoroko, Asa local government area of the state. They have made confessional statements.”
Mr. Ayeni also paraded one suspected burglar, Shehu Nurudeen and two receivers Abdulwahab Mustapha and Isaiah.
He said that the burglar broke into a house in Wawa, Lubcon area of Ilorin West local government area and stole a laptop, valuable wristwatch and phones.
The spokesperson urged Nigerians to always furnish security agencies with timely and adequate information par time.
“It is disheartening and becoming worrisome that our energetic youths are taking to crime,” he added.
