Operatives of Lagos State Environment and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Task Force) have arrested and prosecuted 210 miscreants and hoodlums within three days.
They were arrested during an operation around Oshodi and its environs.

Disclosing this yesterday, he said the operation took place midnight on the directive of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode through the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni.

The fact is that Nigeria prison is pathetic. This lot should be force to learn one thing in prison or the other before bailing.
They should be forced into hard labour like soap, detergent, candle, polish making etc.

With this once they are free they will be self-employed and also run from crimes.
