The vandals who have continued to vandalize underground cables, thereby throwing the entire Federal Capital Territory into darkness would be charged to court, the minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike has vowed.

While stating that some suspects have been arrested by security operatives, Wike said they would be punished for economic sabotage. “We won’t charge you with stealing; we will charge you with economic sabotage. Enough is enough. Nobody will take this. Nobody who loves his country will accept what is going on,” the minister said.
