The Kaduna Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), on Friday said that it arrested 14 suspected pipeline vandals in 2015.
Commandant of the corps in the state, Mr Modu Bunu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna that six of the suspects had been convicted.
Bunu said that prosecution of two of the suspects was ongoing, while the cases of the others were still being investigated.
He said that the command received 126 complaints from the public and resolved 92 of them during the period.

He said that the complaints bordered on breach of trust, land dispute, fraud, threat-to-life, assault, kidnapping, job-racketeering and child abuse.
The commandant said that a notorious hard-drug dealer was arrested at Sabon Tasha in Kaduna, during the period, and was handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for prosecution.
He also disclosed that a suspected rapist, who allegedly defiled a nine-year-old girl, was arrested and handed over to relevant authorities for prosecution.
He said that the command was also involved in disaster management in the state, explaining that it undertook enlightenment programmes on the dangers of flood and the need for people to relocate from vulnerable locations.
Bunu, however, regretted that “in spite of the warning, some residents still built houses along waterways’’.
He said that personnel in the command participated actively in rescue operations when some places in Kigo Road, Ungwan Rimi, Ungwan-Dosa, and Kabala Custain were ravaged by the disaster.
