Pained by the destruction of the expansion joints used to absorb the thermal sections of the Second Niger Bridge, Minister of Works, David Umahi, has described the action by yet-to-be-identified persons as cruel and cowardly.
Umahi, expressed shock that reports of vandalism were still being recorded, despite the presence of the private security outfit deployed by the ministry to man the area,
The Minister, informed that a technical team had been directed to inspect, evaluate and reinstate the damaged parts of the superstructure.
He was reacting to a viral video which circulated on Monday, showing where some of the fittings on the bridge had been removed.
