Jigawa State Police Command has arrested three suspects over alleged vandalism and theft of electrical cables at a popular event centre, police say. The arrests are linked to incidents involving armoured and high-tension cables in Dutse and Guri local government areas.
Both outlets report that the suspects were taken into police custody following investigation of the alleged damage and missing cables. Daily Post Nigeria additionally specifies that the police information comes from a statement released on 24 October 2026 by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Shiisu Lawan Adam. The Punch similarly focuses on the arrests and the cable types targeted, framing the case as part of broader concerns about vandalism at public venues in Jigawa.
