According to a press release issued on Tuesday by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, both suspects lived at the property searched by the operatives.

The Command assured residents that it would sustain intelligence-led operations and other proactive measures to combat criminal activities across the state.
The suspects remain in police custody as investigations continue to establish the full extent of the alleged operation and determine whether other individuals were involved.
