He also reported that officers attached to the Achida Police Out Station in Wurno LGA arrested a driver during a stop-and-search patrol on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aluminum conductor wires, which were vandalised and carted away, were meant for the Sokoto East electrification reconstruction project.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, during the investigation, the stolen wires were recovered, and the suspects confessed to conspiring with two others who are still at large,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe driver was found with sacks containing aluminum conductor wires, an iron cutter, and ropes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring interrogation, the suspect confessed to conspiring with three others who specialise in the vandalism of electric wires along Achida Road. The suspect will be arraigned in court,\u201d Musa added.<\/p>\n
