Speaking
through its public relations officer, Kennedy Idirisu, the Nassarawa state
police command disclosed that it has arrested a superintendent and four other
officers of the force for vandalising a power installation.
Mr. Idirisu
said that the suspects allegedly vandalised a transformer at Obi junction in
Obi Local Government Area of the state. He said that operatives of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad acting on special information swung into action and arrested
the suspects on November 17 and recovered four rolls of cable and tools used in
vandalising the transformer. The spokesperson said that the state Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department had begun investigation into the
matter, while disciplinary procedures against the officers are underway.
According to
him, the command was determined to purge the force of ‘bad eggs’ in line with
the Inspector-General’s Policy of zero tolerance for corruption and
unprofessional conduct.
“In view of
this, the case will be diligently investigated and all persons found culpable
will be prosecuted,” Mr. Idirisu said.
