Residents of Irun Akoko area of Ondo state have arrested two suspected transformer vandals

The two suspects have been handed over to the police at Irun divisional police headquarters for further investigation

The suspects identified as Togo and ibrahim were apprehended in the wee hours of Wednesday by residents of Ejidu, a community in Irun kingdom.

The people of Irun and its environs have been thrown into total darkness for over four years before the intervention of some concerned indigenes and the state government who reconnected the town with the national grid early this year.

Few weeks after they were reconnected, some vandals vandalised one of the transformers in the town throwing part of the town into total darkness since then.

This forced residents of the town to contribute money to replacing the cables that were carted away by the hoodlums.

Spokesperson of the state police command , Femi Joseph confirmed the arrest of the two suspects
