Security forces have detained a few alleged vandals of sewage manhole covers on highways in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

Additionally, attempts are being undertaken to capture their accomplices, particularly those who purchase the manhole covers, according to a statement issued by Mr. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the Minister on Public Communications and Social Media.

According to the statement, the public will be briefed in due time, and pertinent stakeholders are already making every effort to prevent this act of vandalism by criminal elements, as instructed by Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.

The minister expressed regret that Nigerians might go so far as to remove and sell sewage manhole covers on highways, endangering the lives of drivers. The government will take all necessary steps to ensure that those responsible are held able.

He said it was unfortunate that when the government spent public money to install facilities for Nigerians, criminals would take them down and sell them to other Nigerians, who would not care that their illegal actions put their fellow citizens in risk.

The FCT Minister expressed gratitude to Nigerians, praising the individual who took the time to record the widely shared video and characterizing his endeavor as an example of the patriotism the nation yearned for.

This should be a capital offense and should carry not less than 20yrs of imprisonment.

Can we hear their names here...

Very sure it gonna be the regular cretins from the Northside, Kabiru Sani Rago, Wawa, Masara, Akuya

This serves them right!!!!!

Everything is “Iron condemn” to them.

Good riddance.

The former FCT minister Musa Bello gave them free hand to operate because they were his kingsmen. Anyone arrested will be promptly released.

They also stole part of the Abuja Light Rail iron track, it was Wike that replaced the stolen tracks before comissioning

Buhari left that man for 8 years as minister out of Nepotism not performance

Lol



Manhole indeed


let them cover the manhole back, Lol.

Just as if you know I wrote my mention because of Festac town.

Could not forget the day I fell into one, in Lagos faaaa.


Then I knew Lagos people are caring until I begged for Pure water to clean up.

Then I knew how those who wanted to stone the Adulterous woman in the bible disappeared. Just pure 5 naira-puer-water, everyone disappeared faa. Lagoooossssi!

People regularly fall into those exposed man holes at night. There should be jail term for these vandals

I seconded. I'm even proposing life in prison.

Goodnews........I trust wike

To curb this madness, arrest the buyers too

Shoot on sight.
Chikena.

Aboki and iron

I don't know if there is a way to produce and use special reinforced plastic manhole covers to deter this on going theft and vandalism; it is getting out of hand

They are a menace but the buyers and sellers.

Good

This is good

All those panteka boys should be rounded up

They are bunch of criminals

They're almost done removing the ones around Benin metropolis. The government of the day is sleeping on it.

Good development but the security agency should eliminate these criminals.

How do some of you even reason sef? God forbid. Stealing such infrastructure should carry nothing less than 25 years in prison. They are vandalising public infrastructures, manholes, street lights, cables transformers etc. You will never have a developed country with these kind of people.
