Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Friday arrested a suspected vandal removing 10 LED road stud lights on the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge.
In a statement on its official X handle, the Lagos State government said the 18-year-old suspect was caught in the act around 10:00 a.m.
It read, “Operatives of Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) around 10:00 a.m on Friday arrested a suspected vandal removing LED road stud light on the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge.
The statement revealed that “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 suspect was caught red-handed by the operatives on patrol of the bridge around 10:00 a.m today.”
The RRS commander, Olayinka Egbeyemi, noted that bike riders had been deployed two weeks ago on a 24-hour security patrol to monitor traffic and infrastructure on the bridge.
