The Nasarawa State command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps says it has intercepted a heavy-duty truck which was conveying no fewer than 970 railway slippers to an unknown destination.
State Commandant of the NSCDC, Abass Muhammed, disclosed this during a Press Conference organised at the Command’s headquarter on Thursday in Lafia.
He explained that the command, in its resolve to ensure that government infrastructures and properties in the state were protected, came up with strategies aimed at tracking down vandals across the 13 local government areas of the state.
“We have been making efforts to ensure that government infrastructures that are in Nasarawa state are protected and I am happy that we are making progress.
“I thank our colleagues in Benue State because they supported us in recovering these vandalised 970 railway slippers which was being taken to an unknown destination.
