Officers of the Aswani Division of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested one Marshal Sunday ‘m’ aged 24 and Amaechi Obi ‘m’ aged 39 in the early hours of May 22, 2022.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the suspects were arrested around 04.40hrs at Five-Star Five-Star Bus Stop along Oshodi/Apapa Expressway when the officers flagged down an unregistered mini bus popularly known as Korope on reasonable suspicion that the occupants were up to mischief.
After a thorough search, a Browning pistol and three rounds of 7.65mm live ammunition were discovered in the vehicle. Also found with them were one Fidelity Bank ATM card and one itel mobile phone. While two of the three occupants were arrested, the third escaped.
Investigations have been intensified to arrest the fleeing suspects and arraign them in court.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, while commending the officers and men of the command for their doggedness in the fight against crime, charged them to redouble efforts toward annihilating crime within Lagos State.
