The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Anambra State Command, has arrested three suspects allegedly involved in the vandalism of government property and the construction of structures on government-owned land in Onitsha South Local Government Area.
The suspects were arrested on September 14, 2026, by operatives of the Corps in collaboration with the Agunechemba Security Outfit while allegedly vandalising government property in the area.
The Head of Media and Tactical Operations of the Command, SC Okadigbo Edwin, disclosed this on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, while reviewing the operational successes recorded by the Command during the week under review.
According to him, the suspects are Mr. Oseloka Anyaorah of Onitsha-Umuasi, who reportedly claimed to be the Chairman of Ogbo Family, as well as Mr. John Nwobodo and Mr. Ifeanyi Nwancho, who both claimed to be workers of Anyaorah at the site.
Items recovered from the suspects include a government signpost, zinc sheets, nails and other building materials.
Preliminary investigations, Okadigbo said, indicated that the suspects allegedly conspired to damage and remove portions of government infrastructure belonging to Onitsha South Local Government Area.
He added that the vandalised items had been recovered and were currently in the custody of the Corps.
Meanwhile, the NSCDC State Commandant, Commandant Maku Olatunde, condemned the alleged act, describing the vandalism of public property as economic sabotage against the government and people of Anambra State.
Maku reiterated the Corps’ commitment to protecting Critical National Assets and Infrastructure across the state.
He directed that the suspects be properly profiled and charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
The Commandant also called on traditional rulers, town union leaders and residents of Anambra State to provide timely and credible information to security agencies to help prevent further vandalism of government facilities.
