Five suspected vandals nab, stolen iron rods recovered in Lagos
The Lagos State police command says it arrested five suspected telecommunication vandals and recovered a truckload of suspected stolen iron rods in the Ibeju-Lekki axis of the state.
A statement on Saturday by Abimbola Adebisi, the command’s spokesperson, said the suspects were allegedly caught while stealing iron poles meant for the construction of telecommunications masts.
The suspects were identified as Mohammed Shaibu, 26, Musa Zakari, 29, Abdullahi Bala, 22, Salisu Musa, 18 and Yahuza Bala, 20.
“They were subsequently arrested while conveying the allegedly stolen iron rods in a truck,” she said.
She stated that the suspects are currently in Police custody, while the case is being investigated at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba.
Ms Adebisi added that discreet investigation is ongoing to apprehend other fleeing suspects and unravel the full extent of their activities.
The command appreciated the 81 Division, Nigerian Army, for its robust synergy and cooperation, which contributed significantly to the successful operation and arrest of the suspects.
