Fifty-eight suspected miscreants on Lagos Island are now in police net following a move by Lagos State commissioner of police (CP) Hakeem Odumosu to sanitize the community.

Lagos police spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, told NewsmakersNG that the Lagos State Police Command has intensified efforts to sanitize and restore normalcy to the Agarawu, Ita Faaji, Igbosere and other areas on the Lagos Island which have been under the siege of miscreants and gangsters.

Adejobi stated: “The command dispatched a team comprising RRS, Taskforce, Police Mobile Force, Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corps and other local security outfits, under the command of ACP Bode Ojajuni, the Area Commander Area A, Lion Building, to go after the bad boys in the areas which eventually led to the arrest of 58 suspects on Monday 8th February 2021 at about 8pm.

“The miscreants and gangsters in the areas have severally attacked and damaged peoples’ properties while some allegedly lost their lives to their various criminal activities. The Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has deemed it necessary and imperative to raise a formidable team to carry out sting operations on the island to restore normalcy to the affected areas.

“The Commissioner of Police has directed that the suspects be transferred to the State Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba for proper investigation and prosecution. He also warned and assured that the command will not relent on its oars in making sure that the Lagos Island and the state generally are free of gangsterism, hooliganism and crimes.”
