Newly Installed Transformer in Jos Community Vandalized Days After Installation
A newly installed transformer in Rikkos Yarkasu, Jos North, Plateau State, meant to improve power supply, has been vandalized just days after being set up by Jos Electricity Distribution (JED).
Community members allege that the delay in connecting power led to the looting, as vandals exploited the power outage.
Shapiu Usman, a youth leader, noted that the community had been in darkness for eight months.
JED’s Regional Manager, Engr. Kabiru Lawal, confirmed the transformer’s N24 million cost, explaining the delay resulted from unpaid community debts.
He added that transformer theft has surged recently, with 80 units reported vandalized across the region following a power disruption in the 330kV transmission line between Enugu and Benue.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
