Police detain telecom mast vandal, recover cables in Enugu
The police command in Enugu State has detained a 22-year-old suspect for allegedly vandalising cables at a telecommunications mask in the Naira Triangle area of Enugu metropolis.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Friday that the suspect was apprehended on Wednesday by police operatives serving in Thinker’s Corner Division of the command, who responded immediately to a distress call.
“His detention led to the recovery of some lengths of vandalised cables, the value of which is yet to be ascertained,” he said.
Mr Ndukwe said that the tools that the suspects used for the criminal act, including pliers, screwdrivers, and others, were recovered from him.
He said the suspect would be arraigned once the investigation was concluded.
