Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Thieves have plunged a section of Airport road, Effurun, in Uvwie LGA of Delta State into darkness after they allegedly stole armoured cables from the transfer situated near Izakpa junction.<\/p>\n

The area has been in darkness for the past three weeks since the sudden disappearance of the cables.<\/p>\n

At the time of this report, no arrest has been made in connection with the stolen armoured cables.<\/p>\n

Some residents, especially businessmen, who spoke , swore that, \u201cIt shall not be well with anyone who put them in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said the absence of light has affected their businesses as they are now forced to buy petrol at exorbitant costs.<\/p>\n

They appealed to the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, to come to their aid.<\/p>\n
