Two suspected cable thieves have been mercilessly beaten
and tied to a transformer fence at Anagada village, Gwagwaalada Area Council of
Abuja by an angry mob.
According to information revealed by a resident of the
community, simply identified as Iliyasu, the incident happened on Wednesday
night.
Dailytrust reports that the two suspects allegedly went
to vandalize a newly installed transformer at the outskirts of the community
but a security guard at the village primary school heard strange sounds from
the direction of the transformer and raised alarm.
“That attracted the attention of some youth who ran after
them. One of them was apprehended and taken to the chief’s palace. But luck ran
out on the second one who came back the next day to carry the cables inside the
sack when he was also nabbed and tied to the transformer fence together with
the first one,” he said.
He said the two suspects were later handed over to men of
the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at Gwagwalada.
