Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad on Sunday, botched an attempt to hijack their patrol bike in Ikeja, by a 19-year-old suspect, identified as Akinjobi Wahab but was arrested while four other accomplices bolted away.
The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Hundeyin said that operatives were on a patrol in plain clothes when the machete-wielding suspect tried to snatch their patrol bike.
He explained that, “Rapid Response Squad operatives in plain clothes, patrolling on a motorcycle, have arrested a robbery suspect, Akinjobi Wahab, aged 19 while trying to snatch their motorcycle.
“The machete-wielding suspect was arrested at about 4am on Acme Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja in company of four others now at large.
“This is coming on the heels of the emplacement of regular foot and vehicular patrols in the area by the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, in response to repeated complaints that robbers operate around Agidingbi, Ikeja very early mornings.”
