A 20-year-old man, Gbolahan Olarewaju, has been arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) for allegedly stealing light bulbs mounted under the Otedola bridge in Lagos.
In a tweet on his official X handle, Jubril Gawat, senior special assistant to the governor on new media, said the suspect was caught around 2 am on Friday.
Gawat said Olarewaju confessed to removing previous fittings from the same bridge.
“Around 2:00 a.m. operatives of Rapid Response Squad on patrol of Otedola Bridge arrested Gbolahan Olarewaju (20) for removing seven AKT Lights illuminating the Under Bridge,” Gawat said.
“Many of the AKT Light with 24 watt fitting bulbs were removed weeks ago. They were replaced few days later to re-illuminate the Under Bridge.
“Olanrewaju confessed that he removed the first fittings and also vandalized some of the facilities.
“He added that he handed over the items to his friend to assist him in selling them.”
The suspect has been charged to court for prosecution.
