The Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA) special taskforce, led by the General Manager, Prince Dr. Ifalade Ajasa Oyekan, FISN, JP, conducted an early morning raid in and around Victoria Island, Lekki-Ajah axis and parts of the Coastal Road, resulting in the arrest of 130 suspected hoodlums.
The operation, which commenced at approximately 2am, was carried out with support from the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), and an armed detachment of the Nigeria Police Force, enabled by the Chief Security Officer to the Governor, Mr. Kunle Fagbemi, following reports of criminal activities targeting motorists, particularly during traffic congestion.
The suspects, after screening, were presented to the LASSRA Team domiciled with the LNSA for identification and profiling. Following careful and thorough investigations, the suspects will be charged before the appropriate courts, while those requiring alternative intervention will be handled in accordance with the law.
Speaking on the operation, the LNSA General Manager reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that motorists and residents can move freely without fear of harassment or attack.
The LNSA General Manager commended all supporting agencies for their professionalism, coordination, and commitment to the success of the operation.
