OPERATIVES of the Lagos State-funded Rapid Response Squad (RRS) last week Wednesday arrested a man for vandalising one of the electronic road signs installed on Five Star Bridge, Oshodi, to caution road users plying the bridge to slow down.
The suspect, Lekan Olanrewaju, 30 years old, was arrested around 2:00 a.m. while removing the battery cables of the electronic sign.
Vandals had a week before stolen the battery of one of the two road signs installed at the inward Apapa end of the bridge to caution motorists.
The arrest is coming a few weeks after the Commander, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Shola Jejeloye, deployed a patrol team to the area to stem traffic robbery and protect public infrastructure in the area.
Recovered from the suspect were battery cables and pliers.
According to police, the suspect has been charged to court and sentenced to one-and-a-half years imprisonment.
