In Ogun: Police apprehend two people for vandalizing power cables.
Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two suspected electric cable vandals in Ijebu-Ode.
The suspects were arrested last Wednesday after vandalising and stealing the cables belonging to the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company in the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Oyeyemi said the suspects, Odogwu Wisdom and Akorede Aregbe, were arrested following a distress call received by the Divisional Police Officer, Igbeba divisional headquarters.
He said, “The policemen got the information around 2am last Wednesday from local vigilantes at the Olisa area of Ijebu-Ode that some vandals were carrying out their nefarious activities at an IBEDC transformer in the area.
“Upon the information, the DPO, Igbeba division, CSP Musiliu Doga, quickly led his patrol team to the area, where Odogwu Wisdom, who came to the area on a motorcycle, was arrested with already cut cables from the electric installation in the area, while his other colleagues escaped.
“On interrogation, Wisdom confessed that he and his gang specialised in stealing electric cables. He also mentioned Akorede Aregbe as one of their receivers.
“Having mentioned the receiver, policemen went after him and got him arrested as well.
“Recovered from them were large quantities of cables suspected to have been stolen from IBEDC installation, as well as tools they were using for the illicit trade.”
