The Federal Ministry of Works says it is working with the police to tighten security and stop vandalism on the Third Mainland Bridge to save the public infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mrs Olukorede Kesha, gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Recall that operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the police command in Lagos State had on Friday arrested a suspected vandal removing LED road stud lights on the newly-renovated Third Mainland Bridge.<\/p>\n

According to the police, the suspect had already removed 10 of the lights before he was caught by policemen on patrol.<\/p>\n

Kesha said that the the ministry would not tolerate any vandalism on public infrastructure.<\/p>\n

She said that police trucks had been stationed on the bridge to allow officers to quickly respond to incidents and check vandalism.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWe have written to the commissioner of police to ensure more surveillance on the Third Mainland Bridge, and we have stationed police trucks on the bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice officers now patrol the bridge more frequently; this increased security measures have led to the arrest of a number of miscreants, who were vandalising public property.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw that the cat eye lights were vandalised, and the vandals were promptly arrested and taken to police custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore miscreants were also arrested for vandalism even on Monday. This shows a strong response from the authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur eyes are on Third Mainland Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n
