Robbers vandalise Second Niger Bridge

Some robbers have vandalised the road fittings installed on the newly inaugurated Second Niger Bridge.

It was gathered that the robbers also stole the expansion joint walkway on axis 330 of the bridge on Wednesday, July 12, 2023.

“The stolen fitting is an element from the expansion joints of the bridge. Drivers on that road have to be careful as the damaged part can cause discomfort to motorists,” an eyewitness disclosed.

The Federal Government has however yet to speak on the vandalisation as of press time.

The 1.6 kilometres long bridge, which links Anambra and Delta states, was constructed at N336 billion and commissioned by former President Muhammadu Buhari on May 23, 2023.
