He said that following the operation, some suspected criminals were apprehended, firearms were confiscated, and the police officers then set fire to the shanties.
“This is a false narrative!” he wrote. Based on credible intelligence, Ojo Division police officers investigated shanties near the market, arresting suspected criminals and recovering firearms. Following that, the shanties were set on fire. The Alaba International Market is not on fire.”
