Others , Abdullahi said, included two bundles of wires, two burglar windows, iron, three MP3 speakers, one small solar panel, one power bank, and three motor vehicle tyres.
“The arrest of these suspected criminals is part of our continued effort to forestall the nefarious activities of vandals and other criminal elements in Kano State,” he added.
He explained that the cases have been thoroughly investigated and the suspects will soon be charged to court.
“The NSCDC, under the able leadership state commandant in Kano state, Bala Bodinga, remains committed to discharging its core mandates of protecting critical national assets and infrastructure as well as protecting the lives and properties of the public,” he said.
He, however, appealed to the general public to assist in the fight against all forms of criminal acts by sharing useful security information or reporting suspicious movements of criminal elements across the state to the NSCDC and other security agencies.
