The Commandant of the corps, Mohammed Hassan-Agalama, said this while parading the suspects on Tuesday in Kano.
He said operatives of the corps detained the suspects over alleged vandalism, theft, criminal conspiracy, trespass and receiving stolen properties at different locations including Gwarmai in Ghari Local Government Area, Challawa Industrial Area, Unguwar Rimi and Waratallawa in Kumbotso LGA.
