The FCT Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has intercepted a truck loaded with what are believed to be vandalized street light poles.

FCT NSCDC Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, announced the development on Tuesday in Abuja, stating that the truck was on its way to Kano when it was stopped.

Odumosu explained that the command’s Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI) Crack team flagged down the truck, but the driver and a passenger fled the scene.

“Rather than stop to give the needed explanation, the driver of the truck and his motor boy fled and abandoned the truck containing the suspected vandalized items,” Odumosu said.

He added that their flight raised suspicions, leading the team to impound the vehicle and tow it to the command’s headquarters.

The commandant has since directed that the case be handed over to the command’s intelligence and investigations department to determine the source and ownership of the items.

“A thorough investigation shall be conducted to identify those behind this business, and anyone found culpable would be prosecuted according to what the law prescribes,” Odumosu said.
