Police arrest three for vandalising transformer cables
The police command in Adamawa has arrested three suspects for allegedly vandalising and stealing transformer cables at Wuro Dole in Girei LGA.
The Adamaa command spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroje, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the arrest followed credible information from a reliable source, prompting three suspects to be apprehended for allegedly stealing electrical transformer cables supplying parts of Girei.
The suspects, Rabiu Ali (28), Muhammad Musa (42), and Abubakar Usman (18), all male, allegedly conspired with three others who remain at large.
They allegedly vandalised the transformer and removed armoured cables with the intent of making wrongful personal gains.
Mr Nguroje added that the arrested suspects would be charged in court upon completing the investigation.
Police commissioner Dankombo Morris commended the Girei divisional police officer and his team for their effective policing efforts.
He directed the deputy commissioner of CID to take over the investigation and track down the fleeing suspects.
The police boss urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity around electrical transformers for immediate action.
