ENUGU—Operatives  of Igbo-Eze North Division of Enugu State police command have arrested a notorious electricity cable vandal whose activities had led to power outage at Nsukka axis.

The suspect, Samson Onoja,who hails from Ette, in Igbo-Eze North  Local Government Area of the state was nabbed on June 7 while carting away four rolls of high tension cable belonging to Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC.

Police spokesperson, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed his arrest, urged members of the public to always avail the police of information that would nip crime in the bud.
