Area Commander of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in charge of Area Command ‘B’, Zaria Kaduna state, Abubakar Musa Isa, has said the corps has arrested 18 rape suspects this year.
Isa disclosed this yesterday in Zaria while addressing journalists on the achievements of NSCDC for the year, explaining that, out of the number, 11 suspects were prosecuted while 7 were at large.
Isa pointed out that the offences committed by the suspects included defiling of underage girls, theft, vandalisation and fraud.
He observed that his command had also arrested 22 suspects on theft cases and were prosecuted.
“Our personnel are up and doing in terms of protecting the pipelines as so many of them pass through our jurisdiction. We also monitor filling stations and control those that sell above approved pump price or had their litre gauges distorted.
His words: “Cases of fraud were also reported to us and some were based on intelligence reports; we had about 12 of such cases and we were able to help some victims recover their money from fraudsters who make fake monies; we had also intercepted fake fertilisers,” he said.
