The  Anti-Vandal Squad of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)  in  Oyo State has  arrested five suspected vandals at Oniyanrin, Ibadan North Local Government Area.

The State Commandant of NSCDC, Mr Bello Stephen, said  in a release issued in  Ibadan  on Friday  that items such as  hack saws, replicable blades, man-hole lock keys, jack belt lifters, jack belts and screw drivers were recovered from the suspects.

He said the suspects would  be prosecuted in court after investigation had  been completed.

Stephen  appealed to residents of the state to always inform the command of any suspicious act bordering  on acts of vandalism.

He also advised the corps officials to also re-strategise in order to tackle the daunting security challenges facing the country. (NAN)
