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.
SUNDAY PUNCH 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.
