The source said that one of the gang members known as James, who had gone to one of the sites at Guazape in search of window fixing job, invited members of his gang to the site after he discovered that there were several coils of wires in the site to be used in the construction of the building.

The source added that James contacted the leader of the gang, known as Wiper, informing him about the operation and five other members of the gang were also brought in and they struck at the site about 4:am on that day and carted away the wires in a truck and sold them to their waiting buyers at Jabi Market in Abuja, at a giveaway price of N1.2million.

It was gathered that after the theft was discovered, the matter was reported at the Abuja of office of the IRT and operatives were deployed to the scene to investigate and workers on the site were interrogated but it was discovered that one of the persons who had come to look for job at the site may have organized the theft.

The suspect was trailed and arrested and during interrogation, he confessed organizing the heist and he led the operatives in arresting members of his gang including their buyers.
