The hoodlums had allegedly attacked, with dangerous weapons, some of the parents and guardians that accompanied their children to the venue of the examination.

The public relations officer in the command, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, gave the names of the suspects as Tunji Lawal, 22, and lkechukwu Oguawai, 22.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has directed that the suspects be transferred to the Command’s Special Squad, Ikeja, for proper investigation and possible prosecution, while the fleeing members of the robbery gang be apprehended.
