SIX suspects have been detained by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Abia State for allegedly transacting in petroleum products illegally.
When CC Paul Igwebuike, the state commandant, briefed newsmen in Umuahia, he made it clear that he would rely on intelligence-driven activities to help stop the evil deeds of oil vandals. He added that the suspects’ and their accomplices’ criminal activities constitute economic sabotage against the nation and must not be allowed to foster.
The suspects will be charged with their crime and prosecuted decisively in court, after the investigations are over.
Tochukwu Onwuzurigbo, one of the suspects, denied any involvement, claiming he asked his regular supplier for only condemned oil but unknowingly received 25 drums of suspected crude oil.
