Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activities.

- *Collaboration with Authorities*: IBEDC and security agencies like the Nigeria Police and NSCDC are working to combat vandalism and energy theft.

- *Awareness and Education*: Sensitizing communities about impacts can foster cooperation.


Protecting Valuable Assets:

- *Secure Infrastructure*: Strengthening security around critical infrastructure like power transformers is crucial.

- *Reporting Incidents*: Prompt reporting to authorities like IBEDC and local police can aid swift action.

- *Community Engagement*: Local leaders and stakeholders must unite.
