AT about  01:35hrs  on July 21, 2023, the guards on duty at the  Nigeria Airforce  HQ NADC gate  halted three cable thieves along the airport road by NADC perimeter  fence who were sighted digging the FAAN  underground amoured cable with  the aid of a digger,  shovel  and cutlass.
On sighting the guards, they took to their heels. A guard however opened  fire on them ,aiming at the shoulder  of Usman  Musa.
Usman Musa , 28years old, a native of Adamawa State, residing at Ijora sustained gunshot wounds. He was subsequently  arrested  and taken  to 661NAFH Ikeja.
He is  presently  receiving  treatment  at General  Hospital  Oyingbo while his  other two  accomplices  escaped.
Usman Musa will be properly  interrogated  after he has stabilised.
The Authority  believes  that this incident could  be a relevant clue to unravelling  the theft of the Runway  Lighting  at the Murtala  Muhammed  International  Airport,
