The Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has captured and arrested an alleged wanted notorious bandit in Sokoto State.

Commandant-General of the Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi, has commended the NSCDC Sokoto State Command for a job well done in arresting Bello Galaduma, a 40-year-old suspected bandit, he said had been on the wanted list of Security Agencies for more than two years running.

Director, Public Relations of NSCDC, Mr Olushola Odumosu, in a statement, on Wednesday, in Abuja, said the feat was made possible by the resolve of the Commandant-General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ahmed Audi, in having zero tolerance for all forms of criminal behaviour in the society,

Odumosu noted that Galaduma specialises in liaising with kidnappers by giving them information of persons to be kidnapped, adding that the suspect also assists kidnappers in buying drugs and other items they use for their nefarious activities.

He said the captured bandit according to reliable Intelligence, was formerly operating in Niger State before relocating to Sokoto State where luck ran out on him leading to his capture and arrest by operatives of the NSCDC.

“This feat was made possible due to actionable intelligence received by the Officers and Men of the NSCDC, Sokoto State Command who responded immediately and laid siege in the Aliyu Jodi area of Sokoto State, where he went to buy drugs and also to satisfy his sexual urge. In that process, the Gallant Officers wasted no time in ending his reign of banditry.

“Bello Galaduma is in the custody of NSCDC operatives, and is presently under interrogation and helping with useful information to apprehend other culprits. The CG of NSCDC seized the occasion to appeal to the conscience of other criminals to have a change of heart before their time runs out because, at that juncture, the law of the land will take its course.

Dr Audi emphasized vehemently that the NSCDC amongst its mandate will always strive for a better society where all Nigerian lives and property will always be very safe.
