The CG’s SIS also dismantled an alleged telecommunications infrastructure vandalism network operating across Delta and Kano states.
According to the statement, operatives arrested Henry Dennis while allegedly vandalising and possessing 12 telecom panels removed from an IHS tower site in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
Further investigation reportedly uncovered a wider network involving a scrap market owner and alleged financier, Yusuf Musa, who was accused of financing the theft of telecom components and reselling them.
The NSCDC said financial tracing revealed suspicious transactions routed through digital payment platforms, while legal processes were ongoing to obtain search and arrest warrants for other members of the syndicate who remain at large.
Commending the CG’s SIS for what he described as tactical coordination and operational efficiency, Audi said internal administrative and disciplinary proceedings against the implicated personnel had been concluded.
He also directed the NSCDC Directorate of Legal Services to commence prosecution of the arrested suspects before courts of competent jurisdiction.
The Corps reaffirmed its commitment to protecting vulnerable citizens, securing critical national infrastructure and ensuring accountability and integrity among its personnel.
