It read, “Operatives of Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) around 10:00 a.m on Friday arrested a suspected vandal removing LED road stud light on the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge.
The statement revealed that “The suspect, Mubarak Abdullahi (18), living in Makoko, had, at the time of his arrest, removed 10 of the LED road stud light screwed to the road to enhance the visibility of road users.
