The spokesman of the force, Col Isa Ado said troops said six suspected pipeline vandals were arrested along Ebelebiri and Agba communities in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State on May 28 by the troops deployed to the area.
He said: “Ten suspected pipeline vandals were arrested during the operation, one pistol, 195 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 14 handheld radio set, 30 detonating cords and several phones with SIM cards were recovered.”
“Those behind this heinous act of bombing of critical installations in the region are warned to have a rethink and tow the line of peace by adopting a legitimate means to address their grievances instead of taking the law into their hands.
