The
Anti Vandalism Joint Task Force recently inaugurated by the MD/CEO of
Kano Electricity Distribution Company Plc (KEDCO) Dr Jamil Isyaku
Gwamna, has recovered electrical installations worth millions of Naira
from suspected vandals in Kano.
A
statement by KEDCO’s spokesperson, Mohammed Kandi said the JTF raided a
warehouse at Ranji quarters in Tudun Murtala, suspected to be hideout
for vandals after receiving information that large items of power
installation had been kept in a premises owned by a scrap vendor.
One
of the suspected vandals (name withheld) who was arrested at the scene
admitted during a preliminary investigation by officers of the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) that he had been in the
business for the past three years.
He
also claimed buying the items which comprised 40 bunches of vandalised
copper cables and 5 rolls of vandalised aluminium conductor weighting
about 360 kg from a trailer-laden with scraps materials.
Kandi,
however, informed that the suspects would be prosecuted and called on
residents to assist the firm in watching over the power installations in
their area.
He
lauded management’s decision to set up the JTF with a view to clampdown
on vandals and reduce the tide of vandalism in KEDCO’s coverage area of
Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states.
