The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested three suspects for allegedly vandalising and stealing transformer cables at Wuro Dole in the Girei Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday in Yola, the state capital.
He said the arrest followed credible information from a reliable source, leading to the apprehension of three suspects for allegedly stealing electrical transformer cables supplying parts of Girei.
The suspects, Rabiu Ali (28), Muhammad Musa (42), and Abubakar Usman (18), all male, allegedly conspired with three others who remain at large.
They allegedly vandalised the transformer and removed armoured cables with the intent of making wrongful personal gains.
Nguroje added that the arrested suspects would be charged in court upon completion of the investigation.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, commended the Girei Divisional Police Officer and his team for their effective policing efforts.
He directed the Deputy Commissioner in charge of CID to take over the investigation and track down the fleeing suspects.
The CP urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity around electrical transformers for immediate action.
