The Nigeria Security and\u00a0Civil Defence\u00a0Corps in Plateau State on Monday said it had apprehended five pipeline vandals in Bassa Local Government Area of the State.<\/p>\n

While parading the suspects in Jos, the State Commandant of the NSCDC, Mr Vincent Sodengi, said the arrest was due to intensified surveillance at Kaskadi in Bassa area.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cWe decided to increase surveillance around that area due to incessant reports of nefarious acts received from NNPC depot in Jos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area had been a flashpoint of vandalism and we had to strategise to get at the suspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a careful study of their activities, we were able to apprehend these five men here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commandant said the suspects would be handed over to the appropriate authority for further investigation.<\/p>\n

Sodengi, who decried the massive damage done by the\u00a0vandals, said their activities had affected the state as fuel and diesel could no longer be pumped into Plateau State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a serious problem really; the moment these essentials are pumped in, informants will tell the vandals and they will vandalise the pipes to get the products,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said three vehicles, 86\u00a0jerry cans\u00a0and three drums of diesel ware recovered from the suspects.<\/p>\n

He warned those engaged in the act to desist from it as\u00a0his\u00a0men were sure to get them.<\/p>\n

The NSCDC boss called on traditional rulers in the area to sensitize their people on the dangers of vandalism which he described as national sabotage.<\/p>\n
