The suspects
Thirteen suspected traffic robbers were arrested by the police in Lagos State during a raid on their hideout at the old Toll Gate and Olusosun areas of Ojota areas of the state.
This is just as the state commissioner of police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, reiterated the command’s commitment to eradicate traffic robber in Lagos State.
The commander-in-charge of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Yinka Egbeyemi, while briefing the state commissioner of police on Thursday at the state command headquarters in Ikeja, said that the suspects were arrested on Wednesday.

Police said some of the suspects were caught red-handed while taking drugs in their hideouts around the corridor, adding that they were actually fingered and recognised by the residents and eyewitnesses to have been involved in some of the previous traffic robberies and other crimes being perpetrated in the areas.
The image-maker in-charge of the state police command, Muyiwa Adejobi, while confirming the arrest said: “The state police boss has emphasized the need to adopt various anti-crime strategies in combating the menace which must not be allowed to jeopardize the security network in the state.”
