A team of policemen from the Satellite Division of the Lagos Police Command during routine patrols on February 7th, 2025, intercepted a suspected hoodlum identified as Wisdom Obi ‘m’, 24 years.

The suspect was riding an unregistered motorcycle (Okada) at the Abule Ado bus stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Amuwo Odofin. Upon searching the suspect, a brownie pistol along with 13 rounds of live ammunition was discovered concealed within an MP3 radio.

The suspect was taken into custody, with the motorcycle and recovered items documented as exhibits, while investigation continues.

Similarly, on February 7, 2025, another team of officers from the Orile Iganmu Division apprehended four suspected traffic robbers: Kadir Ibrahim ‘m’, Ifeanyin John ‘m’, Oduwole Shola ‘m’, and Rilwan Olajuwon ‘m’, while they were attempting to rob passengers of a broken-down vehicle at the Ascon White Sand area of Orile Iganmu.

The suspects are currently in custody as investigations proceed. The police strongly advises citizens to exercise vigilance and be wary of the cunning schemes of traffic robbers who blend in as innocent traffic traders, preying on unsuspecting individuals who find themselves entrapped in congested routes.
