Troops of 4 Special Forces Command in Doma, Nasarawa State, have arrested 12 suspected rail track vandals at Angwan Yara and Agyaragu communities in Keana
The acting Deputy Director, of Army Public Relations, 4 Special Forces Command, Doma, Major Joseph Adekunle Afolasade, who handed over the suspects to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in the state, said the troops intercepted and arrested the five rail track vandals during a routine patrol on June 15.
He added that following the outcome of the investigation, the troops conducted further raids at the residence of one of the kingpins, which led to the arrest of seven other suspects. He said the suspects confessed to the crime and claimed that they were deceived by the kingpins, who informed them that they had the approval from the federal government, Nigeria Railway Corporation and some security agencies to vandalise and convey the tracks to Jos.
“May I also add that a lot of vandalised tracks are still left at the spot of their arrest waiting to be evacuated by these criminals,” he said.
