Suspected Vandals Of Manhole Covers Arrested In Abuja

todayJanuary 5, 2025

Background

Some suspected criminals removing manhole covers in the city centre of Abuja have been arrested.

The SSA to the Minister of FCT on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka in a Statement says efforts were also being made to apprehend their collaborators, especially buyers of the manhole covers.

The statement says the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has directed relevant stakeholders to work hard to stop this act of vandalism by criminal elements .

The Minister, who expressed concern over the criminal act of putting the lives of road users at risk, vowed that the government would do everything necessary to bring the perpetrators to book.

He said it was sad that the government will use public funds to put amenities in place for the use of Nigerians, and criminally minded Nigerians will remove such amenities and sell them for personal gains.

The FCT Minister thanked Nigerians, especially the man who took his time to record the video that went viral, describing him as a patriotic citizen.
