Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad have arrested one Gbolahan Olarewaju, 20, for removing seven AKT lights illuminating under the Otedola bridge in Lagos.

This was disclosed in a post on the official X handle of the RRS on Friday.

The post reads, “Around 2:00 a.m. yesterday, operatives of the Rapid Response Squad on patrol of Otedola Bridge arrested Gbolahan Olarewaju, 20, for removing seven AKT lights illuminating the under bridge.”

According to RRS, many of the AKT Lights with 24-watt fitting bulbs were removed weeks ago and were replaced a few days later to re-illuminate the underbridge.

The post further reads that Olanrewaju confessed that he removed the first fittings and also vandalised some of the facilities, after which he handed over the items to his friend to assist him in selling them.

The suspect has been charged in court.
