Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Taraba State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, paraded a 24-year-old suspected vandal on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The suspect, who was identified as Mustapha Aminu, was allegedly arrested in connection with the vandalisation of power cable.<\/p>\n

Parading the suspect, the state commander, Adamu Salih, said the vandalised power cable belongs to the State Ministry of Energy and Economic Development.<\/p>\n

The suspect, according to Salih, was arrested on August 27, 2024, at Jauro Gana, in the Jalingo metropolis, by the men of the command while on routine patrol.<\/p>\n

The feat, as gathered by DAILY POST was made possible following a tip-off from some good Samaritans.<\/p>\n

\u201cActing on a tip-off, we arrested the suspect when he stole the armoured cable that was used in the installation of street lights on the newly-constructed road from Kpanti-Napu to Jauro Yinu on Saturday, 24th August 2024 and hid it in a nearby farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree days later, he came to pick up the cable to move it to Enugu State, where he intended to sell it at a more exorbitant price but luck ran out of him as he was nabbed by the NSCDC operatives,\u201d the commander stated.<\/p>\n

The commander decried the level of moral decadence among some youths, whom he said should have engaged themselves meaningfully in economic activities.<\/p>\n

He admonished parents and guardians to beam searchlights on the wards and children to discourage them from acts capable of truncating their dreams.<\/p>\n
