Police nab four for carjacking, terrorising Lagos residents
The police command in Lagos says its detectives has arrested four suspected carjackers within the Iba, Igando and Egbeda axis.
Spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the arrest in a statement on Saturday.
He identified the suspects as Victor Chibuike, 26, aka Azaman; Kingsley Ndubuisi, 33, aka kango; Augustine James, 29, aka Edo boy; and Lateef Babatunde, 33.
“The arrest followed the launching of a swift investigation immediately a report was received on August 7, 2022, that a 2010 Lexus RX 350 SUV, 2006 Toyota Camry saloon car, an iPhone and other valuables were robbed at gunpoint,” the police statement said. “Three locally made pistols, one locally made semi-automatic pistol and 12 live cartridges were recovered from the gang.”
According to the police command, the suspects were notorious for robbing their victims of their valuables and vehicles.
“Efforts are ongoing to arrest their criminal receiver of stolen goods and possible recovery of other items stolen by the gang in the past,” the police added.
Mr Hundeyin said that the suspects would be arraigned at the end of the investigation.
