After the arrest, one locally-made pistol and live ammunition were recovered from him,” Lagos State police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said. “The victim informed the police that the armed men dispossessed him of his mobile phones and bags before they eventually escaped. He summoned the courage to proceed to Ikorodu Division, Igbogbo, to report the incident and hand over the arms for further investigation. “The Commissioner of Police has directed that the suspects be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti Street, Yaba, for further investigation and prosecution. “He also restated his commitment to consistently decimate the activities of criminals and hoodlums in the state as all hands are on deck to have effective policing of Lagos State.”
