FOUR TRAFFIC ROBBERS ARRESTED IN LAGOS
Operatives of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Christmas eve arrested four suspected traffic robbers and recovered three android phones and an ATM card while on patrol at MKO Abiola’s Garden, Ojota, Lagos.
The suspects were arrested at about 7:30 p.m. on Sunday after one of the victims alerted RRS bike riders on patrol of the area.
The suspects are: Wasiu Olawale (23) an ex-convict, who was released in May, 2023, Adebayo Olatunbosun (20), Wale John (28) and Uche Ugwu (25), the gang leader.
A diligent trail of the suspects by the police led to the arrest of three of them and the recovery of three android phones and ATM card. A fourth suspect was arrested on Monday.
Five victims have reported at RRS Headquarters where they have positively identified the suspects. The suspects are currently assisting the squad in its investigations.
In a press release signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, he said the suspects are to be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.
