The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested fifty suspects in connection with stolen manholes in the nation’s capital.

 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the arrest was made after the team stormed the Kabusa Pantaker Market on Sunday, January 5th, 2025.

According to the Command, fifty suspects and twenty-five manhole covers, three vehicles, vandalized solar street lights, galvanized rods used in the construction of flyovers, other tools used in vandalizing these government installations, and several other exhibits were recovered from various panteka hotspots in Kabusa, Garki, Mabushi and Wuse.
