Umuahia Residents Foil Vandalisation Attempt
Some residents of Umuahia in the early hours of Saturday foiled an attempt by some hoodlums to vandalise a PHCN sub-station.
Mr Patrick Osum, a resident of Umuahia and member of the PHCN Anti-corruption and Transparency Unit, told our correspondant that the hoodlums arrived at Niger sub-station at 4.30 a.m.
He said residents, who saw them attempting to cut PHCN lines at Igbere Street near the sub-station, raised an alarm and pursued the hoodlums.
The residents, he said, succeeded in arresting one of the suspected vandals while the others escaped.
