The Adamawa Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) has arrested two suspected robbers who allegedly raided the house of a pastor, George Oaya, at the Agric Quarters in Yola.

Corps commandant, Nuraddeen Abdullahi, paraded the suspects on Friday.

Mr Abdullahi praised members of the vigilante group in Bachure and Karewa areas of the state for their collaborative efforts in the arrest of the suspects.

He, however, said that two members of the gang that robbed the pastor were still at large.

Abdullahi said the search for the remaining suspects continues while those arrested would be charged to court.

The commandant said the corps also arrested a suspected notorious criminal who had been terrorising residents of Karewa area.

According to him, investigation revealed that all the three suspects arrested were ex-convicts.

He urged members of the public to be security-conscious and support security agencies with useful information that would help to arrest criminals and curtail their activities in Yola.
