Less than 72
hours after masts belonging to major telecommunication companies were
destroyed in Borno, Yobe and Bauchi states, some group of vandals on
Saturday destroyed masts belonging to MTN telecommunications at Dong
village of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
It was gathered that a security man guarding the facility was tied to a tree before the vandals carried out the act
Mr.
Nansak Bable, a resident of the area, who witnessed the incident, told
our correspondent that he woke up early Saturday morning and saw rays
of torchlight coming from the mast and he thought it was the normal
maintenance routine.
Bable said the
vandals also carted away generator supplying power to the facility and
as a result, residents of the area cut off from mobile phone services.
The
state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emmanuel Abuh, who confirmed
the incident said that no arrest had been made, but stated that the
police had launched an investigation into the incident.
