Out of this number, 100 suspected vandals were prosecuted and 60 convicted, according to the civil defence corps.

in Edo State, on Wednesday, said 130 suspected vandals were arrested by its anti-vandal unit in 2021.

The adverse effect of vandalism, he said, cannot be over-emphasised, as it has caused serious retrogression to the country, particularly in the area of pipe-borne water, oil and telecommunication infrastructure. Earlier in his opening remarks, the NSCDC Commandant in the state, Aniekan Udoeyop, said vandalism, in any form, was an act of sabotage to the nation’s economy, adding that if the major source of the economy was destroyed, nothing would be left for the economy.

Fred Ufua, national secretary, Private Depots, Oil and Gas Marketers Association of Nigeria, noted that though it was important for NSCDC to protect critical national infrastructure and assets, there was, however, the need for the government to ensure the welfare of citizens.
