…….Recover Incriminating Items, Drugs
The Lagos State Police Command has
re-launched its Anti Crime Strategies to curb crimes and criminality across the
state, in its bid to solidify the security architecture of Lagos State,
In a press release signed by the Lagos
State Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi (mmip),
he said that the command today, Sunday 15th November, 2020, at about 7am,
carried out raids simultaneously on identified black spots, reasonably believed
to be harbouring criminals and hoodlums, across the fourteen (14) Area Commands
in Lagos State.
In the swift operations, police
operatives of the command arrested seven hundred and twenty suspects with
incriminating items including locally-made guns and life cartridges, charms,
weed suspected to be Indian hemp, substances suspected to be cocaine and some
items suspected to have been looted from various shopping outlets within the
state during the recent EndSARS violence.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos
State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, who matched his words with actions, had earlier
warned and directed police officers and men to move against lawlessness and
criminality in Lagos; he affirmed the zeal of the command to sustain the
operations, even, beyond the yuletide season.
CP Hakeem Odumosu has however
directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of SCID, Panti, to
commence discreet investigation on the arrested suspects for immediate
prosecution. He also urged those whose items were looted during the recent EndSARS
violence to come up for claims of their items with prove of ownership.
The police chief commended the
officers and men of the command for the successful operations, while he charged
them to be at alert for more operations across the state.
