The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa State arrests 35-year-old Rayyanu Ibrahim over an alleged incident involving armoured cable theft and vandalism at the Birnin-Kudu Township Water Station. The NSCDC says the case is linked to reported activity around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
According to the NSCDC/Jigawa report and coverage by The Punch, the alleged acts occur at the water station, prompting the security agency to move against a suspect identified as Ibrahim. Both outlets describe the items involved as armoured cables and present the arrest as part of an investigation into theft and damage to the station’s infrastructure. The accounts largely align on the identity of the suspect, the location, and the allegation that cables are vandalised and stolen. Neither source provides additional details about charges filed, the suspect’s response, or confirmed losses beyond the reported cable-related damage.
