Lagos State Police Arrest Two With Locally Made Guns, Charms After ‘Credible Information’ From Public

The Lagos State Police Command says operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested two suspects, 20-year-old Daniel Ojoh and 27-year-old Kudus Ahmed, with two locally made guns and charms.

Spokesman of the Lagos state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, who disclosed this in a statement, said the two suspects were nabbed in separate incidents in Lekki and Ojota, Lagos.

Hundeyin said their arrest was sequel to the receipt of credible information from the public.

According to him, “Daniel Ojoh was arrested at his workshop in Alagutan on Saturday, February 18, 2023, and a locally made gun with two live cartridges was recovered from him.

“Kudus Ahmed was arrested underneath Ojota Bridge at about 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 19, 2023, after he was stopped on suspicion by RRS bike riders on patrol. A locally made gun and charms were recovered from his bag.”

The police image maker noted that both suspects are currently assisting the police in ongoing investigations.

He noted that the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, urged the officers to intensify patrol of the state and directed that the suspects be transferred to the Command Headquarters for further investigation and prosecution.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a cook, Wilfred Amoussou, who usually sedates his employers with Benzodiazepines and steals their valuables.
