This comes a few days after three (3) suspects vandalising streetlight poles on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos escaped being arrested by some officers of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in the state.
The RRS officers on patrol of Iyana Oworo received reliable information that some “miscreants” were vandalising part of the streetlight poles on the median of the bridge.
The officers raced to the scene, but the three (3) suspects on sighting the patrol team, took to their heels, abandoning the cut metals.
