Two Arrested for Illegal Meter Tampering in Abia State
Security forces, in partnership with the Feeder Team from Aba Power Distribution Company, arrested two suspects for illegal meter tampering in Aba, Abia State. The arrests were made on Orji Street, off Umule Road, after strong evidence linked the suspects to energy theft, a crime that jeopardizes the electricity supply in the Aba area.
One of the suspects, Isak Adamu, an electrician, was caught after weeks of surveillance revealed his involvement in multiple tampering incidents. The second suspect, Udeme James, confessed to paying Adamu ₦7,000 monthly to manipulate his meter, preventing accurate readings. Investigations suggest Adamu is part of a larger network offering illegal services.
Aba Power’s COO, Blessing Ogbe, stressed the company’s commitment to eradicating energy theft and announced stricter measures, urging the public to report such crimes.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”

FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
