PRESS BRIEFING BY THE FCT POLICE COMMAND ON THE ARREST OF SUSPECTS INVOLVED IN MANHOLE VANDALISM AND RECOVERY OF STOLEN ITEMS ON 06 JANUARY 2025

Ladies and gentlemen of the press,

In our continued partnership in our shared commitment to ensuring the safety and security of lives and property within the FCT, we are pleased to announce a significant breakthrough in our ongoing efforts to tackle the menace of vandalism, which poses serious risks to public safety and infrastructure. The Command has successfully arrested groups of suspects involved in the vandalism and theft of manhole covers within the territory.

Our operatives conducted a targeted operation, leading to the arrest of FIFTY (50) suspects and recovery of TWENTY-FIVE (25) manhole covers, THREE (3) vehicles, vandalized solar street lights, galvanized rods used in the construction of flyovers, other tools used in vandalizing these government installations, and several other exhibits at various panteka hotspots in Kabusa, Garki, Mabushi and Wuse. Investigations have revealed that these individuals operate as part of a larger network, selling stolen manhole covers to scrap dealers. This criminal activity endangers the lives of the general public by creating hazards on roads and walkways while undermining the integrity of public infrastructure. Below is a detailed breakdown of the suspects arrested and exhibits recovered:

45. Mohammed Ibrahim
46. Chukwu Emmanuel
47. Douglas Yahaya
48. Mohammed Lawal
49. Auwal Musa
50. Abubakar Kabiru
EXHIBITS RECOVERED:
● Twenty-five (25) galvanized manhole covers
● Five (5) solar street lights
● Several galvanized poles used in the construction of flyovers
● Fifteen (15) street light poles cut into smaller pieces.
● Several rolls of high voltage AEDC cables

● Thirty (30) tubes of triple sub glue
● Several charms
● Thirteen (13) large solar panels
● Seven (7) barrels of diesel suspected to have been stolen from network masts
● One (1) Volkswagen sporter bus with Reg. No. BJK 592 XA reconstructed into a diesel tanker
● One Toyota Carina II vehicle with Reg. No. RBC 312 JL
● Several iron rebar rods.

● Two reinforced iron doors
● Three (3) pumping machines suspected to be used in extracting diesel
● Two (2) car batteries
● One photo frame
● One (1) pack of tiles
● Sixteen (16) plastic chairs
● Three (3) generators
● One (1) aluminum ladder
● One (1) wheel barrow
● One (1) roll of roofing sheets
● Two (2) gas cylinders
● One (1) indoor and outdoor AC Unit
● Four (4) sumo water pumps
● Several iron cutting tools
The diversity and volume of recovered items highlight the extensive and organized nature of these syndicates, whose activities have caused significant harm to public infrastructure projects and services in the FCT.

I want to emphasize that the FCT Police Command and our sister security agencies operate a zero-tolerance policy toward acts of vandalism and theft that undermine public infrastructure and safety. This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting the critical infrastructure of the Federal Capital Territory. We will continue to ensure that all those responsible for these criminal acts are brought to justice. The kind of these enclaves will continue.

Thank you for listening.
