The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos State Command, says it has arrested four suspects, over alleged economic sabotage and heinous crimes in the state.
The State Commandant of the corps, Mr Adedoyin Keshinro, disclosed this on Monday in Lagos, while briefing news men.
Keshinro said the arrest of the suspects was among other things, aimed at exposing crimes and criminality in the society.
He explained that one of the suspects, a 29-year-old from Osun, was involved, in the vandalisation of a DAF truck, which he was originally employed to drive.
According to him, the suspect was arrested by the patrol team of the command, around the Guinness axis of Ikeja on Monday, Jan. 27, at about 0900hrs.
‘’He was arrested alongside two others; a scrap dealer, aged, 28 from Kano State and a vulcanizer aged 48 from Osun State for vandalising and dismembering the truck he was employed to drive.
‘’He was found to have sold the parts as scraps to his potential buyers.
‘’Similarly, another suspect, a male, aged, 28, from Adamawa State, who has mastered the act of using fake payment receipts for online purchases, in a bid to scam aunsuspecting victims and general members of the public was arrested.
“Upon receiving the first complaints, from two direct victims of the above online scams, by the suspect and his group, the command immediately deployed operatives, who later got him apprehended.
“However, some other members of the group are presently at large, but they are still being trailed by the command.”
