The Kano State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested four notorious suspected criminals for alleged involvement in vandalism and burglary across different parts of the state.

The State Commandant, Bala Bawa Bodiga, disclosed this on Thursday, October 23, 2025, during a media briefing at the command’s headquarters in Kano.

According to him, the suspects were apprehended following intensified operations by NSCDC operatives in Dambatta, Fagge, and Tarauni Local Government Areas, where they allegedly broke into houses and stole various items.

“The suspects have confessed to committing the offences, and they were caught in possession of stolen items,” Bodiga stated.

Items recovered from the suspects include nine mobile phones, one bicycle, three standing fans, three solar panels, one flat-screen television, two bundles of wires, two burglar-proof windows, iron materials, three MP3 speakers, one small solar panel, one power bank, and three motor vehicle tyres.

Commandant Bodiga confirmed that investigations into the case had been concluded, and the suspects would soon be charged to court.

He reaffirmed the NSCDC’s commitment to protecting critical national assets and infrastructure, as well as the lives and property of residents in Kano State.

“We are appealing to members of the public to support the fight against criminal activities by providing useful information and reporting suspicious movements to the Corps or other security agencies,” he added.

The Commandant appreciated the media and the public for their continued support in ensuring the safety and security of lives and property in the state.
