The Nigeria Police Force Lagos
State Command has arrested one Olaseinde Ojo, a suspected armed robber and

Thursday March 14, also said another arrest was made along Dolphin Bridge when
police operatives patrolling that axis intercepted a dispatch rider identified
as Samson Shina ‘m’ in possession of a locally made pistol and some charms.
The statement reads in part:
“The operatives of the Nigeria
Police Force in their quest to tackle crimes and criminality across the country
have once again recorded milestone achievements in various areas. It is our
responsibility as the lead Security Agency in Nigeria to update the public of
our efforts to curb the menace of crimes in our society, and also educate
Nigerians on the series of antics adopted by Criminals so as to guide against
them
For instance, our operatives in
Lagos State and FCT Command, having intensified their operational strategies,
have successfully arrested several criminals connected to atrocious crimes.
Among these is the arrest of one Olaseinde Ojo ‘m’, a suspected armed robber
and kidnapper at Post Office, Isokoko who disguises as a lunatic to get close
to his victims and rob or kidnap them.
He added
‘’Operatives of the FCT command
on stop at search duty around Taxi Park area, Abuja, accosted a motorcycle
carrying 3 passengers one Usman Musa ‘m’ and 2 others, and found in their
possession a locally fabricated Beretta pistol with 11 rounds of live
ammunition. Search conducted in their premises also led to recovery of $5,800
fake dollar notes and other incriminating items.
Amid rising concerns about
personal safety, the Nigeria Police urges citizens to remain vigilant and
prioritize their security. With recent reports highlighting various incidents,
including thefts, defilement, and assault, it’s essential for individuals to
take proactive measures. These include being sensitive to their surroundings,
especially in unfamiliar areas, and avoiding isolated or poorly lit places,
particularly at night.
Moreover, members of the public
are encouraged to keep their belongings secure and to report any suspicious
activities to the authorities promptly. By staying alert and cautious, everyone
can play a role in fostering a safer society for all, and we will not fall into
the antics of the criminals.”
