The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Anambra State has arrested a 39-year-old man, Anuba Chisom, for vandalising an IHS-MTN telecom mast in Okpuno, Awka South LGA. Chisom, from Amaputa, Isiala Ngwa North, Abia State, was apprehended at around 4 am on Thursday following credible intelligence received by the NSCDC Anambra State Command's Anti-Vandal operatives during a routine patrol.
The suspect was apprehended at the scene with vandalised cables and components of the mast located at the IHS-MTN mast site number IHS_ANA_0888A. Preliminary investigation revealed that Chisom is part of a syndicate responsible for the increasing incidents of vandalism in the state. He has confessed to vandalising two other sites before this, attributing his actions to unemployment.
The NSCDC Anambra State Commandant, Olatunde Maku, commended the "eagle eyes" of the operatives and warned that the Corps will not tolerate vandalism of critical assets and infrastructure. He warned economic saboteurs and vandals to leave Anambra State, as the Command will ensure they face the full wrath of the law. The suspect will be charged to court after a thorough investigation.
