DSP Shiisu further said that in a separate incident on November 6, officers patrolling along Basirka-Darazo road apprehended one Tasiu Saidu with bundles of suspected stolen armoured cables believed to be the property of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).

He said, “Unable to provide a satisfactory account of the cables, Saidu was taken into custody for further investigation.

“During interrogation, he admitted to vandalising the cable wires along Basirka-Darazo road, and it was discovered that he has a history of targeting KEDCO’s critical assets in Jigawa and Bauchi states.”

He also said another arrest was made on November 9, when police officers on patrol along Gujungu-Majiya road intercepted one Jabir Ali in possession of three sacks containing vandalised cable wires strongly suspected to be stolen.

He said the suspect could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the cable wires and was taken to the police station and that during questioning he confessed to vandalising the cable wires belonging to KEDCO after a pole fell.
