NSCDC Arrests Suspected Vandal and Recovers Cables in Kano

On October 2, 2026, operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) from the Danbatta Division in Kano State arrested a 20-year-old suspected vandal named Jamilu Inusa, who resides in Kauyen Mudu village. The arrest occurred around 0415hrs during a patrol based on credible intelligence.

Inusa was found in possession of a white Volkswagen Golf Wagon with registration number KMC 656 ZJ. Following further investigation, NSCDC operatives recovered four bags filled with bare-stranded aluminium electricity conductor cables, which are typically used for overhead electricity distribution lines.

The NSCDC described the vandalism and theft of electricity infrastructure as a significant threat to public safety and socio-economic development. They are currently searching for two other prime suspects who remain at large and plan to take appropriate legal action against the arrested suspect after the investigation concludes.

The State Commandant of NSCDC, Mohammed Agalama, praised the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism.
