The Lagos State Police recently expressed gratitude to Lagosians for their cooperation in providing valuable information leading to some arrests.
In a post shared via his official handle on Tuesday, Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, announced the capture of a suspected cultist and armed robber Chinonso Bright, aged 34, in the Iba area of Lagos State.
The apprehension of Bright subsequently led to the further arrest of two other suspects, Efanyi Chukwu, aged 23, and Alexander Chiemarie, aged 28, in the Jakande-Lekki area.
Law enforcement officials seized a cache of weapons from the suspects, including three locally made semi-automatic pistols, one locally made revolver, four rounds of live cartridges, and 129 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
SP Hundeyin emphasized the importance of community involvement in policing, stating, “Policing is everyone’s business. See something, say something!”
According to the Police, the suspects are currently undergoing investigation and are expected to be arraigned once the process is concluded.
