Officers of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested three suspects for defrauding unsuspecting members of the public while disguising as driver and passengers.
According to Lagos State Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the trio were intercepted by operatives of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corp (LNSC), in Opebi, Ikeja following a tip off and handed over to the RRS.
He said preliminary investigations showed that the suspects: Dele Olawale ‘m’ aged 52, Remi Ogunleye ‘m’ aged 45 and Kole Akintunjoye ‘m’ aged 40 reside in Ogun State but resume in Lagos daily to prey on unsuspecting passengers.
Hundeyin added that the gang, operating in a Volkswagen Golf, with registration number KRD 998 DE act like total strangers to one another to disarm their victim.
“They carry out their nefarious activities mostly in Lagos Island, Lekki and Ikoyi.”
He said the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, had since transferred the case to the State Headquarters for further investigations.
