Lagos State Police Command @LagosPoliceNG

POLICE BEGIN CLAMPDOWN ON THUGS EXTORTING TRUCK DRIVERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS

- Police, FRSC, LASTMA personnel amongst syndicates apprehended
- Exercise to be continuous - CP

Following reports of extortion of truck drivers and other motorists by thugs and some recalcitrant law enforcement officers, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, has set up an enforcement team with the mandate of raiding spots that have been identified as notorious for such nefarious activities.

The enforcement team which commenced raids yesterday was led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) and comprises tactical teams and provost officers from the state headquarters.

The team was at Mile 2 area of the state — a hotbed for the brazen extortionists.

A total of fifteen thugs were arrested in the act while three police officers, one FRSC and one LASTMA personnel were also arrested for being in cahoots with the touts.

CP Owohunwa hereby warns that any law enforcement personnel, irrespective of agency, found complicit in these extortion racketeering would not be spared as they would be apprehended and dealt with in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, the CP has assured Lagosians, especially motorists that the newly set-up enforcement team would sustain the raids and definitely replicate them in other parts of the state where the same issues exist until total sanity is restored.

Why arrest them..

Many already believe Owomida is part of Yoruba tradition..

Honestly this is not fair .. Olumo and his people started like this and today they’re gods of Yoruba people and people actually worship them.. sing about them and tell tales of their powers ..

Lagos state government must start from those mini gods .. punish them .. so that others will learn

Arresting this one’s wil only prove their street credibility and among them.. they will be promoted and given rank

We all know this truth..

I hate propaganda..

But wetin we know ..

Na dem Dey do demselves.. no other Nigerian is deceived .

These 'thugs' parading as task officers are everywhere in the country harassing motorists. From Abuja to Lagos to Anambra to Kano to...

They cause nuisance in every corner and Major part of the money collected go into their pockets

Good.

Areas of concentration must include Oshodi, Iyana Iba, Okokomaiko, Ilupeju, Volkswagen inbound Alaba market, Ajegunle and Mushin.

They no dey ever take eyes see trucks loaded with containers. Even now at Iyana Iba, ladies have joined area boys as agberos to extort people carrying their small goods on their heads.

Watch as they'll invade this thread with inanities. Sufficient for a man are his daily challenges, but some men love their neighbours more than themselves. And so they puff mucus from their uncleaned nostrils into the affairs of others.

I don't know what's wrong from those guys from the erosion laden region. They are quick to jump on anything so far it's about south west but their region has never experienced peace for just one minute. The spate of Agbero in Onitcha has gotten worse that those notorious entities are rubbing innocent people in daylight. They see no evil in their evil ways. Thank God the law enforcement agents are on ground to give them the dose of their medicine.

I wonder why this so-called "enforcement team" by CP lagos command wasn't implemented during the election period when the same boys hijacked peaceful voting process in a time they were most needed?

They have served their purpose so they have to be flushed out till the next 4yrs when they will once again be the darling of the thieves robbing Lagosians blind. Will they ever be wise to see they are merely expendable pawns in the murky game of Nigerian politics? I think not.

They should begin with arresting their leaders Tifnubu and MC Ooluomo.

Why arrest them..

Many already believe Owomida is part of Yoruba tradition..

Honestly this is not fair .. Olumo and his people started like this and today they’re gods of Yoruba people and people actually worship them.. sing about them and tell tales of their powers ..

Lagos state government must start from those mini gods .. punish them .. so that others will learn

Arresting this one’s wil only prove their street credibility and among them.. they will be promoted and given rank

We all know this truth..

I hate propaganda..

But wetin we know ..

We know many people like you always try to prove how clean you are but we cannot be fooled. We know that SE agbero is SE is worse than in Lagos. So, go and sit down.
