Operatives from the Owode Egba Police Division have arrested two individuals, Agbo Jeremiah (34) and Sunday Ngbuta (29), for allegedly vandalizing and stealing cable wires and iron rods in the Ogunmakin area of Ogun State.
The suspects were apprehended around 7 PM on Monday after the driver transporting them and the stolen items alerted the police.
Police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrests, stating that earlier in the day, officers from Safer Highway had noticed two men near Macpherson University carrying rolls of cable wires and iron rods. Suspicious of the items’ origin, the officers were alerted when the men asked for help transporting the load.
The police then stopped the vehicle at Ogunmakin’s overhead bridge and arrested the suspects after they were unable to explain how they obtained the items. Investigations are ongoing.
