The Adamawa State Command of Nigeria Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has paraded 12 suspected vandals.
The state commandant of NSCDC, Idris Bande, told newsmen during the event that the 12 suspects were charged with involvement in burglary and theft.
“Adamawa is not a place for vandals or scavengers. We are fully committed to protecting public assets and ensuring that criminal elements are brought to justice,” Commandant Bande said.
He added that the command is determined to ensure full implementation of the order given by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri banning the activities of scavengers.
“The NSCDC has since deployed its operatives to enforce this policy. Anyone found engaging in these unlawful activities will be held accountable,” Bande said.
According to a statement issued by the state command spokesman, DSC Nyako Baba, the reinvigorated offensive against vandals and allied criminals aligns with the charge from the Commandant General of the NSCDC, Ahmed Audi.
The statement said the commandant general has tasked all state commandants to prioritise the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure.
