In line with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police Hakeem Odumosu’s riot act that Lagos will be hot for all shades of criminals, the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad at about 10pm on Monday arrested two robbery suspects in possession of a locally made pistol and charms, while out to perpetrate crimes across their target points.
The vigilant RRS team on patrol around Oshodi metropolis, intercepted the robbers riding on a motorcycle.
The two male suspects: Lekan Abdulateef, 23, and Tajudeen Sanusi, 24, are both indigenes of Kwara State and residents of Ajegunle and Orile areas of Lagos respectively.
Abdulateef, who was in possession of the pistol at the time of arrest, confessed to have bought the gun for N100,000 from the vendor.
He confessed further to have been using his pistol to rob motorists during traffic around Ojota to Maryland, 7up, China Town, Eko Bridge and Mile 2.
The Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, said the two suspects have been transferred to the Lagos State Police Command headquarters for discreet investigation as directed by Odumosu.
