POLICE ARRESTS 303 HOODLUMS OVER ILLEGAL SEIZURE OF PHONES WITHIN LAGOS METROPOLIS
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade, mni has received with concern reports that young men in certain parts of Lagos State seize passersby’s phones to extort them despite the sustained raids being carried out by officers and men of the Command.
CP Fayoade has, therefore, directed all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) especially in identified areas to redouble security architecture and enhance their neighborhood and foot patrol within their areas of responsibility (AORs) to tackle this emerging menace. He gave this charge during an early morning meeting
with all Area/Squadron/Tactical Commanders and DPOs on Monday, April 8, 2024.
The CP has further warned that any officer in whose AOR such an incident occurs again would be severely sanctioned, assuring that the Command remains unrelenting in its resolve and determination to continue to stamp out, and make the public space hot for criminal elements.
Meanwhile, CP Fayoade has ordered the immediate prosecution of 303 suspects arrested over the weekend during raids across the state, after a careful screening process.
