The Lagos state rapid response squad (RSS) has apprehended suspected hoodlums and miscreants following the reports of constant attack on motorists and other road users in the area. The squad reportedly carried out a midnight operation along the Lekki-Ajah expressway to arrest the alleged offenders.
The development was shared on the official X handle of the Lagos state commissioner of Environment and Water resources Tokunbo Wahab, alongside a video featuring the offenders without disclosing the exact number of the suspects.
“The RRS will continue to sustain intelligence-led operations and enforcement actions against criminal elements whose activities threaten public safety and disrupt the free movement of people and vehicles across the state,” he stated
The operation, announced on Sunday, August 9, was reportedly targeted at individuals who allegedly harass and intimidate motorists, extort money from them, and, in some instances, damage vehicles when motorists refuse to yield to their demands.
The video gained traction online and received commendation and approval from various users who vehemently recommend a long-term detention of the offenders.
