Three individuals have been arrested by Lagos State law enforcement officers for tampering with critical electricity infrastructure along Glover Road, near Defence House in the Ikoyi area of the state.

The Lagos State Government disclosed this in a statement on its website on Friday, where it revealed that the suspects were allegedly digging and cutting power cables, creating a significant threat to public safety and electricity supply in the area.

The statement partly read, “The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has commended the swift response of law enforcement officers in apprehending three vandals who were caught tampering with critical electricity infrastructure.

“The Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Biodun Ogunleye, while condemning the act of vandalism, emphasised its detrimental impact on electricity supply and public safety.”

He described the destruction of power infrastructure as a crime that not only disrupts essential services but also endangers lives and hampers economic activities.
