Defence Corps, NSCDC, has arrested 17 suspects in connection with the vandalism of telecommunications masts and power installations in Yobe State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commandant General\u2019s Special Intelligence Squad, led by Commandant AS Dandaura made the arrests on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/popup.taboola.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dandaura said in a statement signed by the corps spokesperson, Afolabi Babawale that the operation was carried out based on directives from the NSCDC Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Audi, who had expressed a zero-tolerance policy for all acts of vandalism and sabotage of critical national infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dandaura explained that the operation focused on three warehouses in Damaturu, the capital of Yobe State, where the items stored were stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intelligence gathered earlier indicated that the locations were used as storage bases for vandalised telecommunications masts, power transmission equipment, and rail track gadgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the statement, the warehouses are located at the Pilgrim Nasarawa Bypass, Dujiya behind the new market, and Abari Bypass in Damaturu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cActing on the CG\u2019s marching order, we raided three separate warehouses in Damaturu, Yobe State, as we earlier gathered intelligence that there were storage bases for vandalised telecom masts, power transmission and rail track gadgets within the crime scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe clearance operation which took hours led to the uncovering of three warehouses located at the Pilgrim Nasarawa Byepass in Damaturu, another one at Dujiya behind the new market while the third warehouse was uncovered at the Abari bypass also in Damaturu,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pix: NSCDC CG, Dr
