He explained that the suspects, during interrogation, confessed to have vandalised and stolen about 100ft of cable the previous week.
Speaking with journalists, Friday Alex attributed their actions to hunger and non-payment by their private security employer.
He said, “Hunger led me to this. We have not been eating for some days. I begged for leniency, promising not to do it again.”
