More than twenty suspected hoodlums terrorising residents of Ketu, Mile twelve in the Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State have been arrested after a raid of the area by operatives of Ketu Police Division.

According to Lagos State Police Command, which confirmed the arrests, the suspects would be charged to court soon.

Police Public Relations Officer, Chike Oti, said the suspects had been attacking residents of Ketu and snatching bags from people, particularly women at night and early morning.

Oti, a Chief Superintendent of Police said their arrest and arraignment would bring some peace to the people in Ketu and commuters at the bus stops, where they operated most times.

He said some of the hoodlums had no residential address, while some claimed to be load carriers in Ketu and Mile twelve.
