NSCDC arrests man for stealing roofing sheets from public school in Osun
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun command, has arrested a 40-year-old man, Jide Fadipe, for allegedly stealing roofing sheets from a government primary school in Ilesa.
Michael Adaralewa, the state commandant of NSCDC, said in a statement on Friday that the suspect, a resident of Ilaje-Area, BJ4 Ilesa, was arrested for vandalising a public primary school property.
Mr Adaralewa said members of the public earlier reported that some persons were vandalising the school building by removing its roofing sheets and other valuables.
“The command subsequently mounted surveillance around the school area to apprehend the perpetrators.
“On Tuesday, the suspect was seen around 5:00 a.m. removing the roofing sheets of the school.
“He thereafter moved the stolen items down to his house and was apprehended while he was trying to sell the materials to metal scraps buyers in Ilesa,” Mr Adaralewa said.
He said the offence committed by the suspect contravened section 451 of the Criminal Code Law, Cap 34, Laws of Osun.
The commandant said the suspect would face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others fond of destroying public property.
