The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, in a statement said the policemen were supported by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad to effect the arrests of the robbers.
Elkana said one locally-made revolver pistol and a cutlass were recovered from them.
He said the suspects confessed that they were in the area to rob unsuspecting members of the public.
“Investigation is ongoing, the suspects will soon be charged to court,” the police spokesman said.
Elkana assured the public that the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, is committed to making the state difficult for criminal elements to operate from.
