Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command, in ongoing efforts to safeguard critical public infrastructure and ensure the safety of road users across the state, arrested a suspected vandal on the Third Mainland Bridge on April 6, 2026, at about 17:30 hrs, while allegedly tampering with road safety installations.
The suspect, identified as Dogara John, male, 18 years old, was apprehended while removing reflective road studs installed on the bridge to enhance visibility and guide motorists, particularly at night and during adverse weather conditions. A search conducted at the scene led to the recovery of twenty (20) of the stolen reflective studs in his possession.
