Thieves cut and steal cables laid on Abuja rail line
Some
thieves in Abuja are currently threatening the early completion of the Abuja
light rail line as they have begun to dig and cut out some already laid down
cable on the rail line. Unknown persons have been digging up and carting away
communication cables buried along the rail tracks.
Confirming the sad development, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Musa Bello, said
“Cables are being
vandalized. Two weeks ago, vandals dug out cables and cut them off. The
protection of the facilities is a responsibility of everyone. The government
could not do alone. We have deployed members of Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps (NSCDC) along the tracks and in the city‘’ he said.
The Abuja light rail project is expected to be completed by
December 31st 2017 and when completed, would help ease the burden of
transportation in Abuja and it's neighboring states.
