In a statement, the Nasarawa state police public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, said
the suspects were identified as 41-year-old Chigozie Igbokwe and 45-year-old Emmanuel John both of Jikwoyi, FCT Abuja.
The Nasarawa state police public Relations Officer said a patrol team attached to the Gitata Division, while on routine patrol along the Gitata–Gunduma Road, apprehended two suspects involved in the vandalisation of electric cables and poles.
