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.
