…as undercover operations intensified<\/p>\n

By: Okosun Dennis<\/p>\n

In a bid to endure that Lagosians have an enjoyable yuletide devoid of attacks from criminals, the Lagos State Police Command emplaced intensified strategies to curb crimes and criminality particularly traffic robbery across the state.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a result, the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) during an undercover operations around Ikeja Area, arrested three suspected traffic robbers at Agidingbi, Ikeja and environs, about 11.30pm on Tuesday, 22nd December, 2020.<\/p>\n

The suspects, on sighting the RRS operatives, took to their heels but were given a hot chase by the police before they were eventually arrested.<\/p>\n

The suspects were identified as Damola Ajewole, 17, Omotosho Seyi,19, and Olanrewaju Sunday, 23, while their operational motorcycle and weapons were recovered from them.<\/p>\n

During preliminary interrogation, the suspects confessed to have been terrorising and responsible for some traffic robberies and other crimes at Isheri, Ojodu, Berger, Motorways, Agidingbi, Ketu, Alapere and Ogudu.<\/p>

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos state, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has therefore, directed that the suspected armed robbers be handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, for proper investigation.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, in order to be proactive and fortify security in Ikorodu and its environs following the speculations or threats of robbery attacks on the residents of Ikorodu, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered the Commander RRS, CSP Saheed Egbeyemi and other operational units, including Mobile Police Force, State Intelligence Bureau, CP Monitring Unit, to relocate to Ikorudu.<\/p>\n

The operation also involves the Area Commander, Area N, Ijede and all the Divisional Police Officers and their operatives in Ikorodu.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that recently there were speculations that robbers were planning to lay siege and attack the residents of Ikorodu and its environs.<\/p>\n

Premised on the speculations, CP Hakeem Odumosu, swung into action and re-strategised towards providing adequate security in Ikorodu and other parts of the state.<\/p>\n

While felicitating with Lagosians on Christmas celebration, he appeals to the general public to abide by the laws of the land and observe COVID-19 preventive protocols during and beyond the seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
