The Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) has apprehended over a dozen individuals involved in extortion and harassment of motorists and commuters along the Lekki-Ajah Expressway, following a report by Saturday PUNCH. Since June, residents and commuters have complained about being extorted and attacked by hoodlums who forced drivers to hand over money or face obstruction.
The hotspots of these activities were identified around key locations such as Marwa Bus Stop, Gbara, Ikota, Victoria Garden City, Ilaje, Abraham Adesanya, and Freedom Way. A video from the X account of the Lagos State Governor's Special Adviser, Gboyega Akosile, showed the arrest of 15 individuals on August 8 at around 9:08 pm, following an overnight operation by the RRS.
The administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu expressed commitment to combating these miscreants and vowed to continue working with law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order in the state.
