The Borno Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested 27 suspects, including six vandals of telecommunication mast.

“They went to the scene at Shiki village in Chibok,” Farouk said.

He explained that the six suspects arrested were drivers of the three impounded trucks loaded with parts of the vandalised mast, while those who hired them were still at large.

The commandant also presented other suspects that vandalised electricity cables, building materials as well as some miscreants terrorising and extorting money from members of the public.

He raised concern over growing involvement of teenagers in crime and urged stakeholders, particularly parents and religious leaders, to urgently address the disturbing development.

While reiterating the commitment of the command to discharging its responsibility of safeguarding critical assets, Farouk lauded the corps Commandant General and Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno for their respective support to the command.
