The Lagos State Rapid Response Squad has apprehended suspected hoodlums accused of terrorizing motorists along the Lekki-Ajah Expressway, according to a report. This follows a midnight enforcement operation aimed at criminal elements operating along the corridor, which comes months after 25 people were arrested for similar offenses in March.
The suspects, known as "Omotaku," were apprehended during an evening patrol focused on monitoring activities in key areas. State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced the arrests without providing the exact number of suspects. The operation targeted individuals involved in extorting, harassing, and intimidating motorists, as well as those who vandalized vehicles when motorists refused to comply with their demands.
Wahab stated that the Rapid Response Squad would continue to conduct intelligence-led operations against criminal elements threatening public safety and disrupting the free movement of people and vehicles across the state.
