Spokesperson Lagos State Police Command, Dolapo Badmos (SP)
A plot by suspected militants to unleash mayhem on the Igando community, a suburb of Lagos, has been averted by eagle eyed Lagos State Police Command.
Spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmos (SP), disclosed this yesterday in Lagos. She said that the suspects were arrested on Thursday and three guns and ammunition were recovered from them.
Badmos revealed that some residents of Igando had alerted the police of the planned attack by the suspected militants, who came in a boat through the waterways. “Immediately, the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, deployed his men to the area. Two suspects were arrested with some weapons”, she said.
“The security of the area has been beefed up; the command has begun investigation into the attempted attack.
“The police will find out who they are, where they came from and their mission.
“We advise members of the public in the area and other parts of the state not to panic as the police are on top of the situation.”
