According to the report, the serial cable thieves allegedly conspired, crossed the outer gate, and gained access to the power plant’s cable yard.
In order to avoid being arrested, the criminals physically attacked security workers with deadly tools, but they were eventually apprehended and charged in court.
Reacting to the arrest and conviction, the NSCDC Ogun State commandant, David Ojelabi, restated the command’s commitment to the security of key infrastructure and ensuring that crime is stamped out in Ogun State and Nigeria at large.
