Video Shows Men Destroying New Drainage Covers to Remove Scrap Metal
A video shows several young men damaging newly installed roadside drainage covers in broad daylight. They use rocks and concrete blocks to break the concrete around the grates before removing the metal for scrap. The Hausa caption on the video asks, “Is this how we will progress?” The footage has sparked outrage over the repeated theft and destruction of public infrastructure. Stolen drain covers and metal fittings leave dangerous openings for pedestrians and motorists. They can also worsen flooding and force authorities to spend public funds replacing facilities that were recently built.
