EBONYI NSCDC ARRESTS TWO SUSPECTS SIPHONING DIESEL MEANT FOR STREET LIGHTS

Abakaliki, Ebonyi State - The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ebonyi State has arrested two suspects for allegedly siphoning diesel meant for street lights in the state.

The suspects, identified as Chukwuemeka Nwosu and Chinedu Nwankwo, were arrested by operatives of the NSCDC in Abakaliki, the state capital, following a tip-off.

According to the Commandant of the NSCDC in Ebonyi State, Mr. Aliyu Bature, the suspects were caught with a large quantity of diesel, which was meant for the street lights in the state.

Bature said that the suspects had been siphoning the diesel from the storage facility of the state government, and had been using it to fuel their generators and other vehicles.

"We received a tip-off that some individuals were siphoning diesel from the storage facility of the state government, and we decided to investigate," Bature said. "We arrested the two suspects and recovered a large quantity of diesel from them. They will be charged to court for their alleged crime."

The Commandant commended the public for their cooperation and urged them to continue providing information to the NSCDC to help in the fight against crime.

The suspects are currently being detained at the NSCDC headquarters in Abakaliki, pending their arraignment in court.

The Ebonyi State Government has been working to improve the state's infrastructure, including the installation of street lights in major towns and cities. The siphoning of diesel meant for these street lights is seen as a major setback to the government's efforts to provide adequate lighting for the people of the state.
