Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has arrested two persons for allegedly vandalising materials used for the construction of roads and bridges in Ebonyi State.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC State Commandant in Ebonyi, Mr Felix Gbolade, disclosed this while presenting the suspects to newsmen on Thursday in Abakaliki.<\/p>\n

Gbolade said the suspects were arrested on August 26 in Abakaliki, following information provided by personnel of the Command\u2019s anti-vandal unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspects were arrested with steel, cables, among other materials used for road and bridge construction in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigations are ongoing as the suspects would be charged to court at its conclusion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC commandant expressed regrets that vandalism had undermined the Federal Government\u2019s intention to provide adequate infrastructure to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NSCDC is saddled with the responsibility of curbing this ugly trend and we solicit useful information from the public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gbolade urged the public to stop patronising vandals, noting that they would not vandalise infrastructure if there was no market for stolen items.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also warn vandals to turn a new leaf because we would make Ebonyi unhabitable for them,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

However, one of the suspects, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that he did not vandalise any material.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a welder in Abakaliki and a friend kept some materials in my shop because his own shop had no space.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was therefore surprised when personnel of this security agency raided my shop and said that the items were stolen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
