CRACKING DOWN ON ECONOMIC SABOTAGE:
NSCDC SEALS INNER GALAXY STEEL FACTORIES AFTER MULTI-BILLION NAIRA INFRASTRUCTURE THEFT BUST.

Following the recent exposure of a highly sophisticated syndicate systematically vandalizing Nigeria's critical infrastructure, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has secured a comprehensive court order to seal all branches of Inner Galaxy Steel Company and Jiuxing Integrity Industrial Ltd nationwide.

The operation marks a major escalation in the federal crackdown on economic sabotage, infrastructure theft, and the alleged financing of terrorism.

Suspects linked to the syndicate are facing severe criminal allegations, including:Conspiracy to commit felony and theft,Intentional endangering of safety of persons traveling by railway
Obstruction, injuring, and damaging of railway infrastructure,Failure to give notice or information to a public officer,Dishonestly receiving and assisting in the concealment of stolen property,Giving support and financing to terrorist groups for the commission of acts of terrorism,Execution of Court Orders and Asset Recovery

Armed with valid search warrants and court orders, operatives from the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG'S SIS) stormed the Birnin Yero facility in Igabi LGA, Kaduna State. All recovered railway sleepers and tracks are being officially secured and transferred to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) to be preserved as vital exhibits for prosecution.

Confessions from arrested staff revealed a coordinated logistics network where vandalized national infrastructure was routinely moved to the company's headquarters in Aba and other branches for melting. The stolen steel was subsequently recycled into commercial products such as nails and roofing sheets.

Consequent upon these discoveries, the closure and investigation orders have been extended to:Headquarters: Inner Galaxy Steel Company / Jiuxing Integrity Industrial Ltd (Ahala Ukwa Village, Umuahala Community, Obuzor Ukwu, Ukwa West LGA, Abia State).Northern Hub: Inner Galaxy Steel Company (Tasha Rawayyah, Gusau, Zamfara State).
All other branches and subsidiaries nationwide.

The Chinese nationals involved in the management of the complex have been formally summoned by the NSCDC but have yet to appear before investigators.

The Commandant General of the NSCDC, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, has issued a strict directive to the Commandant in charge of the CG'S SIS, Appollos Dandaura, ensuring that operatives maintain absolute diligence and professionalism throughout this high-impact operation.

"Every single suspect found culpable in this bleeding of our nation's commonwealth will face the full wrath of the law. The NSCDC remains fiercely committed to reducing infrastructure vandalism to the absolute minimum." The CG said.

The NSCDC expresses its profound gratitude to the judiciary for the swift granting of these legal instruments, preventing further interference with crucial evidence. The Corps also commends the gentlemen of the press for their vital partnership in shining a bright light on these economic crimes, ensuring transparency and public accountability.

Members of the public are strongly urged to continue collaborating with the Corps by sharing credible, timely information to help bring an end to infrastructure theft.

NSCDC SMASHES MULTI-BILLION NAIRA VANDALISM SYNDICATE IN KADUNA; SEALS STEEL COMPANY USED AS FRONT FOR RECYCLING STOLEN RAILWAY TRACKS AND NNPC PIPES

In a major blow to economic saboteurs, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has uncovered a sophisticated criminal syndicate specializing in the theft, concealment, and recycling of Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI).

Following a viral video showing the massive vandalization of the newly laid Kaduna-Kano rail tracks and old existing tracks, the CG issued a stern directive to the CG’s Special Intelligence Squad (SIS) and the Kaduna State Command to identify, track, and apprehend the perpetrators at all costs.

In a clinical operation conducted on Tuesday, 12th May 2026, the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG’s SIS), under the strategic leadership of Commandant Apollos Dandaura, in collaboration with the NSCDC Kaduna State Command, stormed and sealed the Kaduna branch of Inner Galaxy Steel Company located at Birnin Yero, Igabi LGA.

The operation followed weeks of intensive, intelligence-led surveillance. Investigations revealed that the company operated a criminal smokescreen, posing as a scrap-buying entity while actually serving as a hub for receiving vandalized railway materials, NNPC pipes, and Water Board infrastructure.

The syndicate’s Modus Operandi involved purchasing stolen tracks and pipes from vandals, compressing them into scrap at the Kaduna site to mask their original form, and subsequently transporting them to their head office in Aba, Abia State. There, the stolen national assets were melted down and recycled into nails and iron rods to be sold back to the public.

Twelve key suspects were apprehended during the raid and
exhibits recovered at the scene include massive quantities of vandalized railway tracks, slippers, and suspected NNPC and Water Board pipes worth billions of Naira.

The Commandant General of the NSCDC, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, highly commended Commandant Apollos Dandaura and his team for their gallantry and professional ex*****on of the task.

The Corps will not treat any act of economic sabotage with kid gloves, the CG stated. "It is deeply concerning that registered companies are acting as saboteurs by providing a market for vandalized infrastructure. We will track down every sponsor and accomplice involved in this network."

The Inner Galaxy Steel Company facility has been sealed, and the suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations. The NSCDC reaffirms its commitment to protecting the nation's infrastructure and calls on citizens to continue providing credible information to help rid the country of such criminal elements.

NSCDC INTERCEPTS VANDALS, RECOVERS LARGE QUANTITY OF STOLEN RAILWAY SLEEPERS IN BAUCHI

In a major blow to economic saboteurs, the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG’s SIS) has intercepted a criminal syndicate specializing in the vandalism and illegal transportation of Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) infrastructure. The operation led to the arrest of two key suspects and the recovery of a significant cache of stolen railway sleepers along the Bauchi-Kano Road.

The successful operation follows a direct marching order from the commandant general, who recently mandated the SIS to relocate to Bauchi State. This strategic deployment was aimed at dismantling criminal syndicates that have been damaging, removing, and transporting critical railway infrastructure under the guise of the legitimate contractors approved by the federal government .

Acting on credible intelligence regarding the movement of vandalized materials from the Tafawa-Balewa Local Government Area, the CG’s Special Intelligence Squad intercepted a Peugeot Boxer vehicle (Registration No: KMC-366-TE).

Upon inspection, the vehicle was found to be heavily laden with suspected vandalized railway sleepers destined for an unknown location in Kano State.

Two individuals were apprehended at the scene: Alzuma Yakubu (65), the driver of the vehicle, and Ismail Muhammad (32), the self-acclaimed owner of the stolen materials.
Both the vehicle and the recovered railway infrastructure have been taken into custody as exhibits.

This successful intervention is a direct result of the proactive leadership of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR. Following a formal alarm raised by the executive governor of Bauchi State regarding the potential hijacking of federal government contracts by unscrupulous elements acting under the guise of government approved agents, the Commandant General issued a decisive marching order.

Commandant General Audi mandated the CG’s Special Intelligence Squad (SIS), under the tactical command of Commandant Apollos Dandaura, to relocate to Bauchi State. The mission was clear: to bring a "grand halt" to the systematic destruction and removal of railway infrastructure along the Bauchi-Gombe corridor.

The CG’s Special Intelligence Squad (SIS) commander confirmed that the suspects are currently in custody and are providing useful information. The squad is working to unravel the wider criminal network, including the identification of secret warehouses used to stockpile stolen materials before they are moved across state lines.

The NSCDC remains unwavering in its commitment to protecting Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI). The Corps warns all vandals and illegal scrap dealers that the Bauchi-Gombe axis is no longer a safe haven for their activities.

NSCDC SPECIAL INTELLIGENCE SQUAD DISMANTLES INTERSTATE CAR-SNATCHING SYNDICATE, ARRESTS 6 SUSPECTS, RECOVERS 5 VEHICLES

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), under the directive of the Commandant General, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi mni, OFR, has recorded a major breakthrough in its ongoing crackdown on organized crime with the dismantling of a notorious interstate car-snatching syndicate operating across the Federal Capital Territory, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Benue, Kogi, and Plateau States.

Acting on credible intelligence, the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG’SIS) arrested six suspects: Hassan Bukar, Adam Musa (a.k.a. Yellow), Ibrahim Haruna (a.k.a. Biggie), Adamu Mohammed, Sahal Abdullahi Aliyu, and Abubakar Yusuf, while other accomplices remain at large.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the syndicate specializes in stealing vehicles, dismantling them through complicit scrap dealers, and selling parts to conceal evidence. Proceeds are allegedly laundered through cash and POS transactions.

The CG’SIS Commander, Commandant A.S. Dandaura, confirmed the sealing of five shops at Zuba Scrap Market used for dismantling stolen vehicles, alongside the recovery of exhibits including a Toyota Camry and multiple vehicle documents and number plates.

Investigations further linked the suspects to a wider criminal network involving coordinated supply, resale, and concealment of stolen vehicles across multiple states.

The NSCDC confirmed that charges bordering on criminal conspiracy, theft, receiving stolen property, and aiding concealment have been established under relevant provisions of the Penal Code. Several suspects have confessed to long-running involvement in the illegal trade, while others remain under investigation.

In a separate operation at BUA International Cement Factory, Okpella, Edo State, NSCDC operatives arrested two employees, Goodday Okhagbe and Monday Previous, for theft of industrial hydraulic fluid. Additionally, two suspects, Mainasara Samuel Markus and Sanni Abba, were apprehended for vandalism and theft of armored cables belonging to the facility, with confessional statements obtained.

The Corps reaffirmed its commitment to dismantling criminal networks, protecting critical national assets, and ensuring that all suspects are prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.

Members of the public are advised to verify vehicle ownership documents before purchase and report suspicious transactions to security agencies.
