Public Relations Officer of the Corps in the state, Kareem
Olanrewaju, in a statement in Abeokuta said the duo were caught while
removing the railway chains used to tighten the rail to allow for a firm grip.
According to Olanrewaju, the suspects were caught in the
act. He said their act was capable of derailing trains which may result in
loss of lives. They were arrested by NSCDC men on patrol.
Olanrewaju said: “The state Commandant
Aboluwaye has ordered for a thorough investigation to enable the corps
unravel the reasons behind their action and they will be charged to
court after investigation.
“Rail vandalism is not common in this part so, there must be a
motive behind this act. The corps will look into the case from all possible
angles. Rail chains and other tools used in the act were recovered from them.”
“The corps is hereby calling on members of the public especially
those whose village is located around rail line to be observant and give prompt
information whenever they see any strange persons around rail-way as
consequence may have direct effect on them”.
