Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a two-man gang specialising in defrauding unsuspecting members of public around Cele Bus Stop, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Lagos.

The suspects, Emmanuel Anyanwu, 39, an ex-convict and Kennedy Ujagbor, 42, a drug addict, were jointly arrested by the RRS officers at Cele Bus stop, when a victim from whom they had snatched his bag from the previous day identified them at a drinking joint.

Their victim, Sammy Bolaji, was on his way to Ogun State when he was stopped by the duo of Anyanwu and Ujagbor for his assistance. “They asked me if I knew a particular address and I told them that I was a stranger in that area”, he stated.

Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Superintendent of Police, Dolapo Badmus stated that the police would leave nothing to chance towards reducing crime in the state.

The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
