An electronic road sign was allegedly stolen, leading to the arrest of a 33-year-old man by the Lagos State Police Command.

This was announced by the command’s Rapid Response Squad, or RRS, in a post posted on Monday night on its X handle, @rrsLagos767.

It stated that while uninstalling the installation, the suspect was captured on Wednesday at around 2:00 a.m. in the Oshodi region of the state.

ā€œThe suspect was apprehended for stealing one of the electronic road signs installed on Five Star Bridge, Oshodi, to caution road users to slow down.

ā€œVandals had, a week before, stolen the battery of one of the two road signs installed at the inward Apapa end of the bridge to caution motorists.
