The suspect, Lucky Udeagwu (29), was apprehended by officials of the Rapid Respond Squad (RRS) while attempting to steal the Light-Up Lagos project cable at Ogudu area.
It was learnt that Udeagwu and two accomplices were coming out of the bush where they had exhumed a 35-metre long armoured cable. While he was arrested around 3a.m. on Saturday, the other two escaped. Speaking on the development, Inspector Bello Kabir, who led the patrol on Oworonshoki Expressway inward Alapere, said that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode gave the directive to RRS to monitor the cables. He said:
“The RRS Commander, Mr. Tunji Disu, had warned RRS riders that Governor Ambode always check out Light-Up Lagos project because of cases of vandalism and theft of armoured cable powering the streetlights. “Early Saturday morning, we saw Lucky (Udeagwu) and two other guys carrying a big sack coming towards Ogudu bus stop.
