The Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA) special taskforce in the early hours of Friday, September 4, conducted raids in and around black spots at Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah and parts of the Coastal Road, resulting in the arrest of 130 hoodlums.
The operation, which commenced at around 2:00 a.m., was carried out with support from the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), and an armed detachment of the Nigeria Police Force, following reports of criminal activities targeting motorists, particularly during traffic congestion.
The arrested hoodlums were presented to the LASSRA Team domiciled with the LNSA for identification and profiling.
Following careful and thorough investigations, the hoodlums will be charged before the appropriate courts next week, while those requiring alternative intervention will be handled in accordance with the law.
Speaking on the operation, the LNSA General Manager, Ifalade Ajasa Oyekan, 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.
