The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested two suspects for allegedly stealing and vandalising electrical equipment belonging to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in Kwara State.
The suspects, identified as Ishaq Kazeem (43) and Abubakar Jubril (41), were apprehended on July 10 during an intelligence-led operation by the Command's Intelligence Crack Squad at a mechanic workshop in the Zango area of Ilorin.
According to the Kwara State Commandant of the NSCDC, Abbas Mohammed, the suspects were allegedly dismantling newly stolen electrical materials believed to have been removed from the TCN Regional Store in Jebba before transporting them to Ilorin for sale as scrap.
Recovered items include two trucks, heavy-duty electrical insulation materials, metal conductor poles, iron bars, a generator, a grinding machine, a sledgehammer, a suspected burnt copper rod, and other electrical components believed to be government property.
Mohammed described the arrests as a significant breakthrough in the fight against economic sabotage, stressing that the Command would intensify intelligence-driven operations to protect critical national infrastructure.
He also revealed that investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other members of the suspected vandalism syndicate, assuring that all those involved will be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
