NIGERIA Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Anambra State Command arrested two suspects for attempting to move adulterated kerosene, yesterday.

  The suspects are Chukwuebuka Kalu and Sọlọmọn Ogbonna.

  State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Vincent Ogu disclosed this while parading the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Awka.

  According to Ogu, the suspects were intercepted by the Anti-Vandalism Squad along Onitsha-Owerri Expressway Ihiala on the thirtieth of last Month.

  Explaining that the agency also intercepted a bus with Lagos State registration number 827YD containing diesel at Okija, all in Ihiala Local Government Area while the suspects abandoned their vehicle and its contents and took to their heels, Ogu said that parading the suspects is to sound a warning to all criminal elements to relocate as the command has strategically positioned twenty-four hour surveillance on all entrance and exits of the State.

  Commending Gov. Willie Obiano’s untiring commitment to security of lives and properties as strong motivation to the agency, Ogu also warned that the agency was fully prepared to fish out criminal and anti-social elements as its contribution to safety and security in Anambra State.
