*Recover 15 weapons, 18 vehicles
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Fatai Owoseni, yesterday disclosed that the command has smashed 33 robbery
cases within four weeks in the state.
According to Owoseni, the feat was achieved
between November 18 and December 18.
The command also recovered 15 weapons and 18
vehicles from robbery suspects.
Owoseni said: “Five armed robbery cases were
also recorded and four suspects arrested while operating along the
Oshodi-Badagary expressway. The sum of N1.5 million, a Berretta pistol and a
Lexus 350 vehicle were recovered from them.”
Owoseni noted that the command had uncovered
some places including waterways, creeks and forests where criminals hide and
use as escape routes.
The number one policeman in the state further
said that the command had been facing various security challenges but would
continue to restrategise and increase its visibility.
He said: “The command is bracing well for the
challenges knowing fully well that people are coming into Lagos for the
Christmas celebration. We assure members of the public that the police with
other security agencies will strengthen surveillance and patrols to curtail
criminal activities.”
