Enugu State Police Command has arrested a 22-year-old suspect for allegedly vandalising cables at a telecommunications mast in the Naira Triangle area of the Enugu metropolis.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed this in a statement on Friday in Enugu.
Ndukwe said that the suspect was arrested 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.
The PPRO further stated that the tools that the suspects used for the criminal act, including a plier, screwdriver, and others, were recovered from him.
He added that the suspect would be arraigned once the ongoing investigation was concluded.
