 The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps River State Command has said it arrested 262 suspects allegedly connected to oil theft, illegal oil bunker pipeline vandalism, advanced fee fraud, cultism and other offenses against the law. The NSCDC State Commandant, Ogir Michael, disclosed this to journalists in Port Hacott while recounting the achievement of the command in 2022. The commandant said between January till December it arrested the number of suspects convicted 38 in 21 convictions of the court. Ogir Fford has stated that the command will ensure a stronger synergy with all security agencies in the state that will stall any criminal tendencies. As far as bunker is concerned, the bunker activities in the state have reduced by no less than 90% since I came here. Before we had black smoke and what is responsible is the synergy among security agencies that are going together to fight bunker. We have come together because we now have joint operation where one agency cannot do other agencies support. So far we have more than 58 arrests. We have about 33 convictions and 22 convicts. About 513 cases have been resolved by our department we call the peace and conflict resolution. Our anti-fraud unit also have been able to recover a lot of money from fraudsters. Ogir said the command will also deploy its officers for adequate protection of INEC officers in the state following attacks in other parts of the country. To avoid the breakdown of law and other within that area because of the 2023 election.
