Tijjani said the suspects were arrested following an intelligence report received at the Birnin Kudu Divisional Office, indicating that they were seen late last Friday removing electrical and armored cables from an uncompleted building in the area.

He explained that they were alleged to have been involved in vandalizing infrastructure, orchestrating criminal conspiracies, and committing thefts that had caused significant disruptions in electricity supply in the area.
