In a decisive move, the Special Intelligence Squad of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) announced arrests.
Specifically, two individuals were apprehended for their involvement in oil theft in Abia State.
This operation, part of ongoing anti-vandalism efforts, underscores the Corps’ commitment to safeguarding national economic resources from criminals.
Consequently, the suspects were captured following an intelligence-driven operation targeting illegal oil activities within the region.
A representative from the CG Special Intelligence Squad spoke on this development, reaffirming their commitment to combating oil theft.
“The NSCDC remains resolute in protecting Nigeria’s critical infrastructure and national assets,” the official stated confidently.
Moreover, the arrest of these individuals highlights the determination to bring perpetrators of such crimes to justice.
Oil theft has persistently challenged Nigeria, causing significant economic losses and environmental degradation over the years.
In response, the NSCDC has intensified efforts through strategic operations, community engagement, and collaboration with other security agencies.
Currently, the suspects are in custody and will face prosecution according to the law.
Authorities reiterated their call for citizens to report suspicious activities in their communities to aid this fight.
Ultimately, the NSCDC assured the public it will deploy necessary resources to protect Nigeria’s oil sector and critical industries.
This latest success serves as a reminder of the Corps’ commitment to maintaining national security and economic stability.
Further details on the investigation are expected to be disclosed as proceedings progress.
