A 10-year-old boy (name withheld) has
been arrested by the Jigawa State Command of the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) over alleged theft of N500,000.
Mr Muhammad Gidado, the NSCDC
commandant in the state, told newsmen in Dutse yesterday that the
suspect was arrested on Wednesday in Kiyawa Local Government Area of the
state.
Gidado said the money was stolen from
the suspect’s mother residing in Jahun Local Government, adding that it
was a contribution by some of the residents, which was kept in the
woman’s custody.
He said the boy was arrested following reports by members of the community on how he was spending money extravagantly.
The commandant stated that a new
sports bicycle worth N45,000 and N250,000 were recovered from him.
Gidado said investigation into the matter is on-going. (NAN)
