The Spokesman of the Corps, SC Buhari Hamisu, who confirmed the arrest in Katsina on Friday, said the suspect specialised in door breaking.
He said operatives of the Special Anti Vandal team of the Corps apprehended the suspect at Gidan Kwakwa, Federal Housing Estate in Katsina metropolis, while trying to escape with stolen flash-doors.
