The Lagos State Police Command has successfully arrested the most wanted traffic robber operating in the Ijora Badia area of Lagos. Confirming the arrest to reporters on Thursday, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command’s Public Relations Officer, revealed that law enforcement had been diligently pursuing the suspect for the past six months.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, operatives of the Ijora Badia Division embarked on a strategic intelligence-gathering operation regarding the activities of the suspected individual, identified as 18-year-old Olawale Odunsi, leading to his eventual apprehension. Hundeyin further disclosed that the suspect had been implicated in numerous traffic robberies around the Iganmu and Ijora under Bridge areas, as well as their environs.
Describing the suspect as a dangerous assailant adorned with dreadlocks, Hundeyin explained, “Despite his elusive nature, the suspect had managed to evade capture on multiple occasions in the past. However, fortune favored the authorities on Tuesday, around 3:30 pm, when actionable intelligence indicated that the suspect and his criminal associates were preparing to strike at Iganmu under the bridge.”
He continued, “Operatives from the Ijora Badia Division swiftly mobilized to the scene and successfully apprehended the suspect as he emerged from his criminal hideout. Although his accomplices managed to flee the scene, the primary suspect was taken into custody and subsequently confessed to his involvement in the crimes. The investigation into this matter is currently underway.”
