The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a suspected burglar, Sunday Habila, at a vandalised office in Awka, Anambra State.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the arrest on Monday in Awka.
Ikenga said the suspect was apprehended by security personnel on October 12 after allegedly returning to the office following an earlier burglary on October 6.
He said the suspect was initially taken into custody by the NSCDC before being handed over to the police for further investigation.
According to Ikenga, the suspect allegedly damaged window frames and attempted to remove copper wires, aluminium frames and other installations during the incidents.
The office had previously been burgled by suspected thieves and vandals who damaged a Lister generator and removed some of its parts.
The suspects, who reportedly visited the office at different times, also vandalised and carted away a refrigerator, air conditioners, furniture and electrical installations, leaving the premises uninhabitable.
