According to the police, the suspects were arrested
on December 30.
The suspects are Musiriyu Adeniyi 34, Olamilekan
Abolade, 34 and Shola Shoduke, 30.
Adeniyi was arrested at Sunday Market in Ogba, Lagos
State, while opening a car with a locally made master key.
After his arrest, Adeniyi confessed to have snatched
and sold several cars. He also confessed to burglary and drug peddling. Adeniyi
was used as bait to catch Abolade and Shoduke.
Items recovered from these suspects are 18 kilogramms
of weed and 200 grams of white substances suspected to be cocaine.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal
Imohimi, said the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations
were concluded.
Imohimi promised Lagosians that he wouldn’t relent in
his efforts to arrest criminals in the state.
He added: “We will continue to make sure that the
criminals face the full wrath of the law no matter their social status.”
Abolade and Shoduke said that they were arrested on
their way to their friends' place.
Shoduke said: “I’m a panel beater. I have never
smoked hemp or indulged in cocaine sniffing. Olamilekan and I were arrested in
our area in Agege on our way to our friends' place.”
Abolade, corroborating Shoduke’s story said: “I’m a
welder by profession. Everyone in my community can attest to that. I was
arrested along with Shoduke on our way to a friends’ place.”
