Following a report of the constant vandalisation of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) electrical cables at Ugiri in Isiala Mbano local government area of Imo state, resulting to continuous blackout in the community, the State Police Command’s Tactical Teams carried out discreet investigation to unravel the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
The investigation yielded dividend on Sunday August 28, 2022, when the police operatives, supported by the community vigilante group, arrested one John Johnson ‘m’ aged 24 years and Ekene Nwaojiji ‘m’ aged 21 years, both natives of Nde Achi Ebonyi local government area of Ebonyi State and recovered one locally made double barrel pistol, one locally made single barrel pistol, six rounds of live cartridges, vandalised high tension electric cables, one saw blade and one knife from them.
According to the Command’s spokesman, CSP Mike Abattam, “Preliminary investigation carried out, revealed that they are serial vandals, who have been terrorising the community with other members of their gang, vandalising most of the high tension cables and transformers, thereby putting the community in total blackout.
“The suspects have made useful statements, mentioning those who they sell the items to after vandalising.”
He further said efforts were on top gear to arrest both buyers and other members of the gang.
