The operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, in a sustained intelligence-led operation, have arrested several suspects linked to the destruction of public infrastructure and drug-related activities in Abuja.
This was disclosed in a late Tuesday statement signed by SP Josephine Adeh, the Command’s Public Relations Officer.
According to the statement, the command recovered critical power cables worth over N31 million, drainage covers, transformers, and indian hemp.
The statement reads, “Vandalism of public infrastructure is not just theft, it is an attack on our collective safety and daily life.
“In a sustained intelligence-led operation, the FCT Police Command under the leadership of CP Miller G. Dantawaye, psc, arrested suspects involved in vandalism and drug-related activities across Mabushi, Maitama, and the Central Business District.”

“These criminal acts disrupt electricity, internet services, and endanger innocent citizens. The Command remains resolute in tracking down not only perpetrators but also receivers and buyers of stolen public assets.”
