The Chairman of the Task Force, Otunba Marcus Adetifa in his statement said; "The directive from the Mayor is clear, we are to make Amuwo Odofin Local Government inhabitable for miscreants like this.

We have not only apprehended these ones who would serve as deterrents to others in such sharp practice, we have also been able to identify the buyers of the manhole covers.

We will make sure that the syndicate-chain are prosecuted and the trade totally discouraged and unprofitable"

Nigeria need to close our border and shut out those Niger boys. Those boys are crook and dreadful.
Every manhole in Lagos State is under attack. Arrest them and their buyer also.

This is the reason why we are underdeveloped, it's not just the lack of good governance, but also rogue citizens who will undermine our infrastructure for their profit.

These guys should be duly prosecuted and their jail time used as deterrent to other criminal elements out there.

Why would they steal manhole without thinking of its portend dangers to road users?

Greedy lazy folks huh

Aboki.

That is how they are literally breaking the concrete road dividers so they can remove the reinforcement.

They sell the steel as scrap for foundries

Some of them also steal cables for streetlights

marvel2011:
what will they used this for?
They steal manhole covers, railings of bridges, etc. and sell them as scrap metal. There was a time, during Fashola's administration, that the government had to make concrete manhole covers and railings in order to prevent thieves from stealing them.

How do we move forward as a country when some citizens act in very unpatriotic manner (including politicians).

Do we call poverty or greed/foolishness as the problem?

No infrastructure is working e.g. roads, government hospitals, schools, government agencies etc.
