Task Force arrest seven suspected robbers on Lagos bridge

Seven suspected armed robbers were arrested on Monday on the Bolade Bridge in Oshodi by operatives of the Lagos State Task Force on the Environment and Other Related Offences.

The State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokumbo Wahab, disclosed this on Monday via his X handle (formerly Twitter), describing the arrest as part of the state government’s efforts to reclaim public spaces.

The Commissioner also said the arrest of the suspected armed robbers is part of the state government’s security and environmental drive.

He identified the arrested suspects as Samuel Olumide, Quadri Oladipupo, Ojo Ifabomi, Tunde Balogun, Dayo Badmus, Adegunlola Tayo, and Simon Michael.

Wahab said, “The arrest is part of our ongoing effort to reclaim public spaces, protect commuters, and dismantle criminal activities that thrive around critical transport corridors.”

Efforts to reach the spokesperson in charge of the Task Force, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, for further comments were unsuccessful, as his mobile phone was not available at the time of filing this report.
