Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kano State have apprehended three suspects linked to cases of infrastructure vandalism and vehicle theft in separate incidents across the state.
In the first incident, two men identified as Adamu Ibrahim (25) and Abba Ado (24), both residents of Roba in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, were arrested for allegedly vandalising electricity infrastructure at Yunfawa village.
The suspects were said to have tampered with and stolen about 300 metres of aluminium conductor cables belonging to the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).
They were reportedly caught in the act and later confessed during interrogation, while a third accomplice is currently at large.
