Few hours after officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) arrested a One-Chance robber in Ajah axis, police detectives attached to Maroko Division of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Nurah Muazu, 31, at Aboki Estate, Marwa Lekki.
The suspects were nabbed on Thursday, April 1, 2021. The officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authourity (LASTMA) had on Thursday, April 1, 2021, about 11.30 pm apprehended an unnumbered, wine-coloured Toyota Camry Sedan vehicle at Ikate, Lekki-Ajah axis of the State.
The car that was driven suspiciously against traffic popularly known as “one-way driving” was accosted by the LASTMA officers.
Sequel to the reports, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu directed operatives to painstakingly investigate and apprehend other members of the One-Chance robbery syndicate and other similar syndicates, who have been placed under surveillance for a while by the police.
The Divisional Police Officer, Maroko Division led a team of detectives to Aboki Estate, Lekki where the receiver was arrested and two mobile phones, that were snatched by the same suspects, on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, in Lekki were recovered from him.
The suspect and his gang members, Roland Onoge, 38, and Daniel Abah, 28, all male who were intercepted by officials of LASTMA on Thursday, April 1, 2021, along Marwa Bus Stop Lekki, having robbed one Isaac Amarachi, a female, in their unregistered red Toyota Camry operational car, are assisting the police to get more information about the syndicate and many others operating around Lekki and Ajah Areas of the state.
While commending the efforts of the LASTMA official that intercepted the suspects and the police detectives for the follow-up, the Commissioner of Police admonished other security and safety agencies to emulate their acts of professionalism and commitment to duty as every individual is expected to play a vital role in securing Lagos State and all hands must be on deck to achieve safer Lagos.
The police chief, therefore, ordered that the suspects be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba for discreet Investigation.
In same vein, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has charged officers and men of the command to intensify patrol with other anti-crime strategies put in place to protect the lives and property of Lagosians during the Easter Celebration in the state.
CP Hakeem Odumosu has also admonished them to ensure adequate deployment of men at strategic places especially at worship centres, parks for picnics and recreational arenas as many fun-seekers would be out to celebrate Easter.
He, however, appealed to Lagosians, especially, fun-seekers to be moderate in their celebration activities and respect the laws of the land with no exception to the COVID-19 protocols. The Commissioner of Police also warned Lagosians to desist from reckless driving and gross violation of traffic rules and regulations particularly driving against the traffic (one way) and plying the BRT corridors.
He emphasised that the police and other security operatives have been deployed across the state to enforce law and order.
