Spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Frank Mba has stated that the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) needs to improve its investment in security to tackle vandalism.<\/p>\n

This was stated on Monday by the PRO of the NPF when he\u00a0featured as a guest on \u2018Good Morning Nigeria\u2019, a programme on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, the police have made several arrests in recent times of persons\u00a0allegedly involved in vandalising rail tracks across the country.<\/p>\n

Recall that the minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi at a media briefing in July had stated that\u00a0persons found culpable of vandalising of railway facilities should be charged with manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the NTA programme on Monday, Mba said such acts of vandalism<\/a> are encouraged by the fact that some of the tracks are not currently in operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just a Nigerian issue. It also seems to be a global challenge. In South Africa, for example, at a time, 10 kilometres of rail track were vandalised. In fact, the cost to replace that was put at $2.3 million. This year alone, the South African transport ministry is budgeting 1.9 billion rand to put back their rail system that was vandalised, especially during the pandemic \u2014 during the sit-at-home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat gives credence to [the] position that when a rail line is idle, it gives room for vandalism. When a rail line is not in active use, that\u2019s when a lot of vandalising, stealing, destruction take place. And to complicate matters, once the vandalism begins to take place, and it\u2019s not quickly fixed, then you create more room for it to go on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge for NRC is also for them to be perpetually vigilant. The earlier these things are fixed as soon as the theft takes place, the stronger deterrent you put in place to stop further vandalism on that track.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the transport ministry and the railway corporation need to invest in security. Everywhere in the world, the best global practice is dual investment. As you invest in infrastructure, it doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s transport, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s aviation, invest in the security and protection of that infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called for national reorientation to discourage criminal acts such as vandalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, when you see younger people vandalising or stealing public properties, it doesn\u2019t matter to them. They just feel like \u2018the politician next door has stolen so much; the local government chairman, the minister, the director had also stolen so much and I am just taking a bit out of the national cake.\u2019 He or she does not even regard it as a criminal offence or something condemnable,\u201d Mba said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
