FOUR SUSPECTS NABBED FOR EXTORTING MOTORISTS.
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad have arrested four suspects for extorting motorists in the State while posing as officials of the disbanded Lagos State Committee on the Removal of Abandoned Vehicles (RAVC).
The arrested suspects are Taiwo Falodun, aka Biggy (48), Adedire Olaniyi (42), Femi Osunkoya (53), and Olalekan Edu (51).
The suspects were apprehended yesterday after impounding the vehicle of a motorist for changing lanes at Alausa.
The motorist stated that the suspects took her vehicle to a park in front of Elephant Cement House, where she was asked to pay N50,000 fine. She, however, reached out to friends who contacted the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
Recall Lagos State Government had placed an indefinite suspension on the entire ad-hoc teams of the Committee on Removal of Abandoned Vehicles (RAVC) operating in the 20 Local Governments (LGs) and 37 Local Council Development Area (LCDAs) in Lagos State on 6 May 2022.
The suspension was as a result of several complaints of extortion and harassment of members of the public by RAVC.
