The Lagos State Police Command has arrested six hoodlums suspected to be involved in the shooting at Obalende area of Lagos State on Thursday morning.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said all the six suspects have been handed over to state CID, Panti, Yaba for discreet Investigation.
According to him, the command deployed resources to disperse and suppress the hoodlums fomenting troubles at Obanlende, noting that normalcy has been restored to the area.
He said: “Based on preliminary findings, the crisis, that occurred on Thursday, was between transport unions in the area and no life was lost.
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has warned that the command will not condone any act of lawlessness and criminality in the state.
“He, however, directed the area commander ‘Area A’, Lion Building, ACP Bode Ojajuni, to intensify efforts on flushing the hoodlums out of the area and on the Lagos Island in general, with the available recourses.”
He added that leaders of transport unions in the area, however, have been invited for interrogation and further actions.
