Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Niger State Police Command has arrested 15 suspects for allegedly vandalizing and transporting a trailer load of railway tracks and slippers in Minna.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police, CP Shawulu Danmamman, revealed that the tracks were believed to have been stolen from Katarma village in Kaduna.<\/p>\n

He said the suspects were intercepted and arrested by the military component at Sarkin-Pawa, who then handed them over to the Police Division at Sarkin-Pawa.<\/p>\n

CP Danmamman while parading the suspects before the press at the command headquarters on Friday, reiterated the commitment of the Niger State Police Command to combating and reducing crime in the state.<\/p>\n

Among the suspects paraded were Adekunle Saheed, 44 years old, from Oyo State, and Saifullahi Umar, 30 years old, from Katsina State.<\/p>\n
