Operatives of the Lagos state police command have arrested two men in possession of a toy pistol hidden under the seat of their motorcycle.
The state’s police public relations officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Saturday on his official X handle.
He also attached a picture of the pair with their toy gun to the post.
According to him, the suspects were arrested by policemen conducting a stop-and-search operation by Agege Railway Police Station.
