She said, “Since my assumption of office as the state commandant of the NSCDC, we have made tremendous achievements in the arrest of pipeline vandals and we are currently prosecuting 76 suspected vandals arrested within Amai and Kwale communities with the cooperation of the people of the state.”
Irabor pointed out that apart from the vandals being prosecuted, the corps also arrested and transferred 22 cases of misconduct to other relevant agencies for prosecution while it mediated in 100 civil cases.
The NSCDC boss urged citizens of the state to assist the command with useful information that would help it (command) to arrest suspected vandals within their areas.
She enjoined the corps to maintain a cordial relationship with members of the public in view of the numerous security challenges currently bedeviling the nation.
The NSCDC state commandant also called on Nigerians to always support security agencies, stressing that collective effort will yield great results.
