On arrival, the Governor’s aides, who came with police officers from the Federal Housing Police Station, took custody of the suspects and later transferred them to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further interrogation and possible prosecution.

The appointees commended the youths for their efforts in apprehending the suspects, urging others to embrace the spirit of patriotism to rid the state of criminal elements.

CONVERSEER reports that vandalism, especially to public utility infrastructures, is common in Cross River State, and this has put some parts of the state in darkness.
