Some road fittings installed on the newly inaugurated Second Niger bridge have been stolen by vandals.
A source in the Ministry of Works told PUNCH that the expansion joint walkway on axis 330 of the second Niger bridge had been stolen.
“Unfortunately, It’s true. The stolen fitting is an element from the expansion joints of the bridge. Drivers on that road have to be careful as the damaged part can cause discomfort to motorists,” the source said.
Corroborating, another source told PUNCH that supervising engineers are not happy about the incident.
As at the time of filing this report, efforts to reach the ministry spokesperson
Blessing Adams-Lere, for official confirmation, proved abortive, as phone calls were not responded.
