The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested 10 suspected vandals in separate operations across Kubwa, Wuye and the National Mosque area of Abuja, in a coordinated crackdown on infrastructure vandalism.
According to a statement by SP Josephine Adeh, Police Public Relations Officer of the FCT Command, a patrol team from Kubwa Division sighted five persons allegedly vandalising armoured cables around Bazango Kubwa on September 2, leading to their arrest and identification.
In a separate operation, a patrol team from Wuye Division arrested one suspect while allegedly digging out armoured cables along the road between Magic Land and the National Stadium in Abuja.
A surveillance team from Wuse Division also arrested four other suspects around the National Mosque area after they allegedly cut down a solar powered street light in an attempt to vandalise it and remove its components.
The command said investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other members of the suspected vandalism syndicates, including those allegedly involved in receiving stolen public infrastructure.
All suspects remain in police custody and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations, the command said in its statement.
Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, commended the police teams for their vigilance and timely intervention in protecting public infrastructure across the territory.
