Police operatives of the Enugu State Command, attached to the Distress Response Squad (DRS), intercepted and arrested three male suspects for vandalizing power cables on October 20, 2025, while on routine stop-and-search duty along the Enugu/Port-Harcourt Expressway.

Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in a statement yesterday, revealing that the operatives recovered lengths of vandalized high-voltage aluminum cables concealed with cassava crop leaves, one big cable cutter, two pairs of rubber gloves, a black bag containing clothes, and the suspects’ operational white-colored minibus.

The arrested suspects, Chukwu Kelvin, Kenechukwu Ude, and Uche Nwankwo, confessed to having vandalized the cables from electric poles along Ukete Road, Oduma community in Aninri LGA, and were transporting them to the New Artisan Market, Enugu, for sale.

The Command reiterated its commitment to fishing out vandals and other criminals bent on destroying and denying citizens the enjoyment of essential social amenities.

It further called on citizens to continue supporting the Police in this quest, noting that the suspects will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
