The suspects with officials of NSCDC
Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Lagos State Command, has arrested a trader, John Gere, and his wife, Queen Gere, as well as three others for alleged pipeline vandalism.
The Commandant General, who was represented by the Deputy Commandant General in charge of operations, Mr. Evans Ewurum, said the suspects were arrested in Epe on Monday.
“They were arrested in Epe and they even attacked some of the officers who went for the raid. We recovered from them more than 20 kegs of petrol. They will be charged to court and the exhibit will be handed over to either the police, court or Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation as the case may be,” he said.
The suspects, however, denied being pipeline vandals, saying that they were arrested unjustly by overzealous NSCDC operatives.
