The Lagos State Police Command has arrested four suspected members of an armed robbery syndicate allegedly operating around Iju-Ishaga and Oke-Aro areas of the state.

The suspects were arrested at their hideout in Idi-Oro, Mushin, following credible intelligence and sustained intelligence gathering by operatives of the Command’s Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU).

The suspects were identified as Damilare Oluwatobi, 28; Lekan Adenuga, 30; Haruna Sheriff, 22; and David Balogun, 24.

During a search of the hideout, police operatives recovered 25 mobile phones, two laptops, a gold necklace, earrings and three cutlasses.

The Command said the suspects were in police custody and assisting with an ongoing investigation, while efforts were being intensified to apprehend other members of the alleged syndicate linked to the criminal activities.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Tijani Fatai, commended the VCRU operatives for their swift response, intelligence-led investigation and successful arrest of the suspects.

Fatai reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to dismantling criminal networks across Lagos State and ensuring the safety and security of residents.
