The Anambra State Police command has arrested two suspected robbers vandalizing the newly completed 2nd Niger Bridge at the Anambra end of the bridge at Obosi in Idemili North local government area.

Vanguard News reported that the Police team monitored the gang and swooped on them, arresting two of the gangsters, while others fled.
According to the report one of the suspects hailed from Enugu State and the other from Ebonyi State.”

“When searched, two daggers and five SIM cards removed from previously stolen phones were recovered from the suspects who were aged between 20 and 22 years.

While commending his men, the state Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye directed that owners of the recovered SIM cards be located to assemble evidence for successful prosecution of the  arrested suspects.”

It was discovered in July that aluminum fittings installed on the bridge commissioned by former President Muhammadu Buhari at the tail end of his administration were stolen by suspected vandals.

The development made the Anambra State Police Command commence round-the-clock intensive surveillance on the bridge.
