For destroying, stealing, and vandalizing the electric infrastructure (cables) connecting the two towns, Ouseibai Seperegha Godsgift M (CYA) President.
This is according to his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ebis Okpeke, who released a statement to newsmen.
“It is truly tragic and awful that young people are profiting from our nearly non-existent electric infrastructure. In light of the creek’s historical neglect, we’re fighting for increased development. “It bothers me that young people tasked with protecting our creek facilities commit such heinous acts of vandalism,” the statement reads.
For those who have criminal thoughts, I implore them to engage in productive endeavors that benefit our creek and society at large, or face the full force of the law if apprehended.
The CYA President also used the occasion to appeal to the Bayelsa State Government to help affected communities restore power by repairing damaged electric facilities in Agorogbene, Ogobiri, and other communities along the creek.
It appears that after the thief was apprehended he was given noodles to eat before they punished him.
