The Jigawa State Police Command has arrested three suspected
electric cable vandals in Ringim Local Government Area.
The spokesman of the command, DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam,
confirmed the arrest in a statement issued to DAILY POST, in which he
identified those arrested as Haruna Haruna, 29, and Amadu Nasiru, 33, both of
Gujaba village in Ringim LGA.
According to the statement, a technical officer of the Kano
Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), Ringim Branch Office, complained at
the Ringim Police Station on September 3 at about 1 pm that unknown persons had
vandalised KEDCO service cables along the Ringim-Gidan Garke axis.
DSP Adam said a team of policemen led by the Divisional
Police Officer swiftly swung into action and arrested the suspects who were
caught with the aluminium wire.
The suspects reportedly revealed that they stole the cables
from the shop of one Dahiru Isah of Tofa village, Gezawa LGA, Kano State.
Upon interrogation, Dahiru Isah reportedly disclosed that he
bought the cables from one Kulu Danjummai of Gujaba village, now at large, and
kept them in his shop until he discovered them missing.
A police spokesman said the investigation is ongoing and
efforts are in top gear to arrest the prime suspect, after which they would be
arraigned in court.
