Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to the immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari, has reacted to the vandalisation of the recently inaugurated Second Niger Bridge.

TORI reported that vandals had stolen certain road fittings from the N336 billion bridge months after former President Buhari commissioned the project along with seven other infrastructural projects.

An official of the Ministry of Works who spoke with Punch confirmed the theft on Wednesday, specifying that the expansion joint walkway from axis 330 of the bridge was the missing item.

Reacting to the development in a Twitter post on Thursday, Ahmad expressed sadness over the vandalisation and stealing of fittings from a section of the bridge.

The former presidential aide asserted that the vandalization of public infrastructure should attract severe consequences.

He wrote: “So disturbed by a story I read this morning in The Nation Newspaper about the vandalization and stealing of fittings from a section of the Second Niger Bridge—condemnable acts. The vandalization of public infrastructure should attract severe consequences.”
