The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested three men for vandalizing and stealing electrical cables in Bororo Village, Michika Local Government Area.

The suspects were caught with stolen power cables, which they had allegedly stripped from public infrastructure, causing power outages in the area.

On March 9, 2025, officers from the Minchika Divisional Police Headquarters, while on routine surveillance patrol, intercepted the suspects and uncovered their illegal activities.
