The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ogun State Command, says it has arrested 210 suspects over vandalism, fraud, and illegal mining activities within the last 18 months as part of its ongoing crackdown on economic and infrastructure sabotage.
Ogun State Commandant, Remilekun Ekundayo, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Abeokuta.
She said the command also recovered over ₦23 million for victims of fraud-related cases and resolved more than 1,700 disputes through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms within the period under review.
According to her, intelligence-led operations by the corps have helped prevent criminal activities and protect critical national assets such as pipelines, railway lines, and power infrastructure across the state.
Ekundayo emphasised that security is a shared responsibility, calling for stronger collaboration between the NSCDC and the media to enhance public awareness and safety.
She added that journalists play a key role in strengthening the state’s security framework through timely and accurate reporting.
In response, the Ogun NUJ chairman pledged continued support and partnership with the corps in promoting security consciousness in the state.
