Yusuf said the suspected thief was interrogated without torture, saying he “confessed to having stolen the cables around the spot he was nabbed.”

As part of efforts to authenticate where the cables were stolen from, Yusuf disclosed that the Corps Commander, Soji Ganzallo, had instructed the team to visit the said church.

“At the church, the Chief Security Officer and others were surprised and asked him how he managed to escape being caught with the formidable security network of the church,” it was said.
