From Ardo Abdul in Bauchi
The Bauchi State Police Command has recorded a significant success in its campaign against the vandalization of public infrastructure following the recovery of vandalized railway slippers in Doya Quarters, Bauchi.
Accordingly, credible intelligence was received regarding the vandalisation of railway properties within the state capital on 17th August 2026, at about 0030hrs.
In response, operatives attached to ‘A’ Division Township swiftly swung into action and traced the stolen items to a residential building in Doya Quarters, as against the expectation that such exhibits would be concealed in a warehouse or government facility.
Consequently, the entire consignment of vandalised railway slippers was recovered and evacuated to the station. The operation was concluded at about 0330hrs on 18th August 2026 with the arrest of a male suspect, Abubakar Sanusi in connection to the crime.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations officer Asp Nafi’u Habibu on behalf of the Commissioner of Police says investigation is ongoing to identify and arrest other members of the syndicate involved in the crime.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, mni, psc (+) reiterates the Command’s commitment to protecting critical national assets and infrastructure. He further warned that anyone found engaging in vandalism or destruction of government property will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The Command therefore calls on members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station and support in protection of National assets, anywhere and always.
