Six suspects have been arrested by the Osun State Police Command over the alleged vandalism and theft of a high-tension electricity power line pole.

The arrests followed allegations involving the electricity infrastructure, with the suspects now facing investigation over their alleged connection with the incident.

The alleged offence concerns a high-tension power line pole, which forms part of electricity infrastructure used in the transmission or distribution of power.
