22 years old, Akeem

The Police operatives attached to Sagamu Road Division, Ikorodu, Lagos State have arrested one Rasheed Isiaka, age 40, of No 4, Olowonisaye Street, Ikorodu, Lagos State.

This was contained in a press release sent in by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Police public relations officer, Lagos State command.

The statement reads in part, “The suspect, who has been alleged of perpetrating many crimes in the entire Ikorodu area, has been placed under surveillance due to the intelligence gathered on him before he was eventually arrested.

“Items recovered from him include two locally-made pistols, one laptop, two suspected stolen Bajaj Motorcycles, two knives and some assorted charms.”

Similarly, the same Sagamu Road Division operatives, have arrested one Tobiloba Akeem, age 22 years, at Itamagba, while he and his friend, now at large, were being held by one Inspector of Police, Atunramu Ojo, attached to Oworonsoki Division of Lagos State for their  aggressiveness and resistance to pay transport fare to the driver of a Toyota Previa Bus, with registration No LSD 369 FU conveying the Inspector and the suspects.

The hot argument and gallantry act of the police Inspector attracted the Police Operatives on a routine patrol who eventually arrested the suspect with some dangerous weapons/items.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, while commending the gallantry of the Police Inspector and other operatives for the feats, directed that the suspects be transferred to the Command's Special Squad for thorough investigation and possible prosecution.
