In a crackdown on criminal activities, officers of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LSNC) have apprehended two staff members of Ikeja Electric for stealing electrical cables in the Ogba area of Lagos.
The suspects, Oluwadamilola Wasiu, 30, and Adekunle Faruk, 24, were identified as officials of the Debt Management Control unit under Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company.
They were caught red-handed in the late hours of the night, cutting electrical cables in a transformer serving Lawson Street in Ogba, Ojodu LCDA.
Unfortunately, a third accomplice, named Ibrahim, escaped with the stolen tools and items.
The arrest of the two Ikeja Electric staff members highlights the need for increased vigilance and cooperation between security agencies and utility companies to prevent such incidents.
