About 168 solar-powered streetlights installed along the Longbridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway have reportedly been stolen by suspected vandals.

Reports say the lights began disappearing gradually only months after they were installed in 2025.

During a visit by newsmen to the bridge on Tuesday, several sections were found to have been stripped of their street-lighting infrastructure, which was meant to improve the safety of motorists, particularly at night.

Observation showed that the suspected vandals carefully dismantled the lights, loosening the screws and nuts used to secure the poles to the bridge before removing and carting them away.
