Armoured Cable
They convicts, Abdullahi Abubakar, Musa Ismail, Salisu Usman, Auwal
Musa and Usman Auwal, residents of Apo village in Abuja, were said to
have been aided to carry out the crime by some officers of the Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS).
The convicts were sentenced on a three-count charge of conspiracy, mischief and theft, contrary to the provisions of the Penal Code.
The Police Prosecutor, Abdullahi Adamu, told the court that the Divisional Police Headquarters in Wuse Zone 3, Abuja, received information from the Nigeria Immigration Service through a handing-over letter NIS/CG/017/VOL1/35 against the convicts dated June 16.
Adamu said the convicts connived with some officers of the NIS (names withheld) and entered the underground tunnel with the intention of stealing the NITEL cable.
He said the convicts were actually caught while trying to steal the cable, adding that they destroyed the cable when they cut it and tried to go away with it.
