The Kwara State police command has
arrested five officers of the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
in the state for allegedly siphoning
petroleum products from a leaking NNPC
pipeline...........

The civil defence corps members were
arrested at about 10pm on Wednesday at
Asa dam area of Ilorin, Kwara state
capital.
Spokesman of the state police command,
Femi Fabode (DSP), who confirmed the
development in Ilorin yesterday, said two
civil defence corps members were drafted
to the leaky NNPC pipeline to watch over
it, but three others joined them to cart
away already siphoned fuel in jerry cans.
He claimed that the NSCDC authority in
the state had been informed of the arrest,
adding that investigations had
commenced on the matter.
However, the Kwara state commandant of
NSCDC, Mr Yerima Gana, denied any
knowledge of the development.
