The Lagos Police Command on Friday paraded 39 suspects arrested in connection with various crimes, including armed robbers, cultism, murder, arms possession, and vandalism.

The command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said they were arrested after the launch of “Operation Flush” on July 27.

CP Idowu Owohunwa launched Operation Flush to tackle pockets of crimes resurfacing in parts of Lagos State.

The spokesperson said the operation was also to support existing frameworks for battling violent crimes like robbery and cultism, amongst other vices.

“From all these cases which we successfully cracked, we recovered a total of six arms, 26 live ammunition, two expended ammunition, one battle axe, four vehicles, hard drugs, counterfeit currencies, wrist watches, phones, knives, and aluminium rails.

“CP Owohunwa assures residents of Lagos that the command would continue to do everything operationally possible to ensure that crime and criminality are brought to the barest minimum in the State,” he said.
