Similarly, he said another arrest was made at Race course road, Nassarawa GRA, Kano adding that the suspected vandal, Muhammad Ado 47, was caught while packing vandalised streetlight wires at Race course road, Kano by 1100 hrs.
He said all the three suspects are now in custody of the Corps as investigation is going on.
“On completion of the investigation, they’ll be made to face the full wrath of the law while the command is on the trail of three accomplices of the criminals who are at large.
He said the command under the able leadership of Commandant Mohammed Falala warned vandals of critical national assets and criminals alike to desist from perpetrating nefarious acts of vandalism as the Corps has since launched a serious manhunt of criminally minded elements, and once caught they’ll be made to face justice.
