Operatives of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have apprehended 43 suspects in an all-night raid of notorious spots in Oshodi and its environs.
The raid of the suspects across the metropolis, it was gathered, led to the recovery of a semi-automatic pistol in another raid that took place on Tuesday 10th April 2024.
Lagos State Police Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said the raid was carried out in Anthony, Bolade Oshodi, and Oshodi Terminus.
Hundeyin remarked that the raid followed credible intelligence received by the police about the activities of undesirable elements in those areas.
Hundeyin said, “The pistol was recovered in Opebi, Ikeja when Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi deployed a team from the squad to verify information received from members of the public”
