Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos state police command arrested a man last week for vandalizing one of the electronic road signs installed on Five Star Bridge, Oshodi. The sign is to caution road users to slow down.
The suspect, Lekan Olanrewaju, 30 years old, was arrested around 2:00 a.m. while removing the battery cables of the electronic device.
Vandals had a week before stolen the battery of one of the two road signs installed at the inward Apapa end of the bridge to caution motorists.
The arrest is coming a few weeks after the Commander RRS, CSP Shola Jejeloye deployed patrol team to the area to stem traffic robbery and protect public infrastructure.
Recovered from the suspect were battery cables and pliers.
The suspect has been charged to court and sentenced to one and a half years.
