A private security guard attached to the University of Ilorin, Idris Ibrahim Kayode, has been apprehended while allegedly vandalising armoured cables used to power streetlights within the university community.
The suspect was reportedly caught red-handed around 1:30am by vigilantes who handed him over to the state command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).
Reacting to the development at the weekend, the spokesman of the command, Ayoola Michael, said the Commandant, Dr Umar Muhammed, has ordered further investigation into the matter.
