Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) around 10 am on Friday arrested a suspected vandal removing LED road stud light on the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge.
The suspect, Mubarak Abdullahi (18), living in Makoko had, at the time of his arrest, removed 10 of the LED road stud light screwed to the road to enhance the visibility of road users.
The commander of the squad, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, said the suspect was caught red-handed by the operatives on patrol of the bridge around 10 am. It was learnt that Egbeyemi some weeks ago deployed bike riders on a 24-hour security patrol in the area to monitor traffic and infrastructure on the bridge.
