The EKDC officials’ investigation later revealed that the defendants, David Oladipupo, 27, Bello Rotimi, 30, and Vincent Ohanuma had tapped the complainant’s electricity for their neighbour, Jay Plug Company for an alleged N100,000 monthly fee.
Police further alleged that following the development, the complainant reported the matter to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO in charge of Maroko division, CSP Ganiyu Raji who swiftly directed his crack team led by Inspector Otolor Monday to arrest the defendants.
The Police team tracked and arrested the defendants at a hideout in Lagos.
