The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has summoned Chinese nationals linked to Inner Galaxy Steel Company and Jiuxing Integrity Industrial Ltd over alleged railway infrastructure theft and ordered the sealing of the firms’ facilities nationwide.
The NSCDC said the action followed the uncovering of what it described as a “highly sophisticated syndicate” involved in vandalising critical national infrastructure.
In a statement on Monday by the National Public Relations Officer of the corps, Afolabi Babawale, the NSCDC said it secured a comprehensive court order to seal all branches of the companies across the country.
According to him, suspects linked to the syndicate are facing allegations bordering on conspiracy, theft, destruction of railway infrastructure, concealment of stolen property, and alleged financing of terrorism.
