He added that on January 3, at about 11pm, the command's Anti-Vandal Unit on a routine 24-hour NNPC pipeline surveillance patrol along Afon, Otte and Gambari in Asa Local Government Area of the state, busted an attempted vandalism of petroleum pipelines.
He said: "As our men were coming out of the pipeline, they saw two vehicles approaching the pipeline. Immediately the suspects saw our men, they opened fire on our men and we retaliated.
However on sensing the superiority of our arms, they abandoned their vehicles with registration number OYO AME 60 XA blue and LAGOS DB 732 FST white carrying 140 jerry cans each."
He added that investigation was ongoing to arrest the suspects and called on the general public to assist the command with useful information that can lead to their arrest and effective combat of pipeline vandalism in the state.
