Parading the suspects at the Command headquarters in Birnin Kebbi, the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Shafi\u2019u Abubakar, said the incident occurred on September 10 after a gang of hoodlums invaded the school premises along Dakingari Road.
According to him, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Bunza acted on credible intelligence and mobilised a team of police officers and vigilantes to the scene, where the suspects were caught dismantling the transformer with chainsaws and other mechanical tools.
\u201cAt the scene, a black Toyota Corolla \u2018Eagle Eyes\u2019 with registration number KNT-359-SN, Niger State, was recovered. Two suspects, Sanusi Muhammad and Ibrahim Lawal, both from Sokoto State, were arrested while vandalising the transformer after tying up the school watchman, identified as Muhammad Danda Masa Nasharu,\u201d Abubakar said.
Further investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department led to the arrest of two fleeing suspects identified as Tasi\u2019u Abubakar and Tasi\u2019u Abdullahi, both from Zamfara State. Police also recovered the stolen armoured cables and tools used in the operation.
