A 45-year-old woman, suspected to be part of pipeline vandalisation syndicate has been nabbed by men of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital,

The suspect, Toyin Olatunbosun, was arrested in an early morning operation carried out by men of Ogun NSDC after a tip off about activities of vandals in the area.

According to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of NSDC in the state, Kareem Olanrewaju, the corps was informed that the woman and others, now at large, received petroleum products especially petrol from vandals and sell same to neighbours and other members of the public.

Olanrewaju, further told Daily Independent that Toyin, the alleged main receiver of fuel syphoned from vandalised pipelines, was arrested at her residence which she also used as a storage facility, located around Daramola Close, Oriyanrin, Akute in Ifo Local government area of the state.

He added that during interrogation, Toyin mentioned one Ajayi as the one who usually assisted her to link up with the vandals who convey the products very early in the morning to her residence.

The PRO, however, said the Corps Commandant in the state, Aboluwoye Akinwande has directed the officer in charge to ensure other suspects are arrested and prosecuted immediately reiterating that NSDC will continue to carry out such exercise in vandalism prone areas to curb the activities of vandals in the state.
