Police foil operation in Lagos, arrest twoDeji LamboMen of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested two suspects, Charles Obllomo and Osita Onyeka, for allegedly conniving with four suspected fake military men to hijack a petrol-laden tanker around the Mile 2 area of the state. Obllomo and Onyeka then took over the truck and were driving it to an unknown destination, while the four men in military uniform ordered Mande and Usman to enter a Toyota Corolla car, which followed the petrol-laden tanker closely. The police, however, intercepted the culprits on their way and after an exchange of gunfire with the fake military men, Obllomo and Onyeka were arrested, while their accomplices escaped. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said in a statement on Sunday that the tanker, with number plate Gage 743 XN, and the Toyota Corolla were also impounded, adding that the fake military men escaped with bullet wounds. The driver and his motor boy were sandwiched by the four men in military uniform in the Toyota Corolla.
