CRIME: LAGOS POLICE ARREST 90 SUSPECTS IN MIDNIGHT RAID
During a raid on suspected criminals in the late hours of Tuesday, 90 male suspects were taken into custody by members of the Lagos State Police Command’s Rapid Response Squad.
The operation, which was carried out in coordination with Area A Command, was directed against well-known hotspots in the state’s Obalende, Adeniji, and Lagos Island regions.
This was revealed by the RRS on Wednesday in a Facebook message.
The statement read, “Last night, operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, in collaboration with Area A Command acting on intelligence, raided 90 suspects in Obalende, Adeniji, and Lagos Island.
“The exercise, which started around mid-night, witnessed the teams combing notorious spots in Obalende, Adeniji, and Lagos Island. The exercise was aimed at reducing criminal activities in the areas.”
The statement further stated that all of the suspects have been turned over to the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offenses Unit in order to conduct additional research and face charges.
The statement went on to say that Lekki, the Jakande Roundabout, and V.G.C. will henceforth be covered by the squad’s operations as commanded by RRS Commander CSP Shola Jejeloye.
“The extension is to complement the agency’s vehicular patrol of the Lekki-Epe Expressway and to curb the activities of miscreants harassing motorists in traffic on the highway,” it added.
PUNCH Online reported in April how RRS operatives arrested 43 suspects across black spots in Oshodi and its environs during an overnight operation.
