Determined to rid Lagos State of miscreants and other criminal elements, the state police command, in a well-coordinated, intelligence-led operation conducted a raid on notorious black spots at the Canal axis in Ago-Ogota area of the state on Tuesday at about 2000hrs.
The public relations officer of the command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said 28 miscreants were arrested during the exercise.
Led by the Operations Department of the command, the operation was in line with the earlier directive of the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, that all hoodlums hibernating in shanties before carrying out their clandestine and nefarious acts should be completely dislodged in every part of the state.
During the night raid, a total of 28 miscreants suspected to be criminals were arrested and the illegal shanties destroyed.
The suspects are currently being interrogated and profiled, Ajisebutu said.
He said the Commissioner of Police has vowed to sustain the ongoing raid until the state is completely rid of such undesirable elements.
