Two suspects, Rachard Istifanus (M) 31, who provided escort for the vandals and Usman Yusuf (M) 44, who drove the truck were arrested immediately.

Babawale said the Intelligence Operatives also impounded an unmarked container body long trailer truck containing and laden with vandalized rail track and slippers.
