“The suspects belonged to a notorious syndicate that specializes in vandalizing streetlight armored cables and theft while carrying arms in their operations,” he said.
He said the suspects conspired with their accomplices now at large, and vandalized streetlight cables at Usman Nagogo road, opposite the state Ministry of Works.
“They later moved to an uncompleted building with two others where they burnt the cables,” he said.
