Street Light Cable Vandals Arrested In Lagos
It was not a lucky day for two street light vandals who operate mostly by midnight as they were arrested and paraded by the Lagos State Government
The two suspects have been linked to the power outage within a short space of time of lighting up the roads. They pretend to be technicians while perpetrating this illegal act.
The Lagos State Electricity Board said;
One of the numerous challenges we face with sustaining the provision of street lights in some areas in Lagos is the vandalization of cables and equipment. We often realize there's an outage of power within a short space of time of lighting up roads
These cable vandals operate mostly at midnight and sometimes pretend to be technicians. We urge Lagosians to be conscious and vigilant. It is a collective responsibility to ensure the sustainability of government property
A man, 22, jumped into the lagoon from the third mainland bridge yesterday. The man identified as Daibo Toju Davies resides at 17, Sosanya street, Gbagada.
A report said that he had engaged the services of an Uber taxi from a hospital before the occurrence. He allegedly stopped the Uber on the bridge pretending to be having a running stomach before plunging into the lagoon.
Lagos State Emergency Management Agency public affairs officer, Nosa Okunbor said they are making efforts to rescue the man.
He said;
“He should be in his mid-twenties. He ordered a car-hailing service from Gbagada to the Island. He deceived the UBER driver that he had a running stomach after which he jumped into the lagoon.
