This was disclosed by the NSCDC spokesman, Babawale Afolabi, in a statement in Abuja yesterday.

Afolabi, disclosed that the Commandant – general’s SIS made the arrest around Southern Kaduna at Kanfancha axis, in Jama’a LGA of the state while acting on credible intelligence.

He said the suspected vandals stormed the location with an empty truck to load the already vandalised rail track iron concealed inside a sugarcane plot around Kwoi-Kagarko-Tafa-Jere Road in Kaduna State.

According to the statement, the CG’s Special Intelligence Squad, is mandated to carry out specialised operation to checkmate nefarious activities of rail line vandals, and arrest suspected vandals who disguise as scavengers.
