Addressing newsmen in Maiduguri on Friday, the state Commandant, Mr Musa Farouk, said the six vandals were arrested at Shiki village of Chibok Local Government Area, where they vandalised a big mast belonging to the defunct NITEL.“Upon that information, I directed my men within that location to be on top of the game.He explained that the six suspects arrested were drivers of the three impounded trucks loaded with parts of the vandalised mast, while those who hired them were still at large.

The commandant also presented other suspects who vandalised electricity cables, building materials, as well as some miscreants terrorising and extorting money from members of the public. He raised concern over the growing involvement of teenagers in crime and urged stakeholders, particularly parents and religious leaders, to urgently address the disturbing development.
