The Lagos State Rapid Response Squad has arrested suspected miscreants and hoodlums allegedly terrorising motorists along the Lekki–Ajah Expressway during a midnight enforcement operation targeting criminal elements operating along the corridor.
The latest operation comes months after about 25 persons accused of harassing motorists along the same corridor were arrested in March.
The suspects, described as “Omotaku,” were apprehended during an evening patrol by enforcement teams monitoring activities along major corridors in the area.
Announcing the latest arrests without disclosing the exact number of suspects in a post shared on his X handle on Sunday, accompanied by a video of the suspects, the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the operation targeted only those involved in extorting, harassing and intimidating motorists.
He added that the suspects included those who allegedly vandalised vehicles when motorists refused to yield to their demands. Related News LAWMA trains children on waste management, recycling Sanwo-Olu: Lagos-Badagry bridge safe despite vandalism Ex-minister Adeosun’s husband for burial Thursday
