This was confirmed by the State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, on Sunday.

He said, “On Nov. at about 17:30hrs, Mr Yusuf Dogo, a member of the vigilance group in Gnami in Kagarko Local Government Area in Kaduna state came to police the station and reported that he sighted some suspects vandalising railway track at Gnami village.

“Our operatives with the vigilance group members moved to the scene and nabbed two suspects breaking a concrete bridge removing the iron road.”

Hassan identified the suspects as Joel Musa and John Yakubu, all from Pakau village in Kagarko LGA.

He further stated that some of the suspects escaped from the scene.

“But collaborative efforts are ongoing to arrest them and. approximately 40 pieces of the vandalised iron rods are in our custody,” he added.

Hassan while pleading for timely and useful information for immediate action said investigations were ongoing to nab the escape suspects, noting that the detained ones would be charged in court following their investigation.
