Lagos task force nab seven suspected robbers on Oshodi bridge
Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Task Force, on Monday, arrested seven suspected robbers operating on Bolade Bridge in Oshodi, Lagos State.
Commissioner for environment and water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement on X.
Mr Wahab wrote, “Earlier today, operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Task Force apprehended seven suspected robbers operating on top of the Bolade Bridge, Oshodi, following actionable intelligence and sustained surveillance.”
According to the commissioner, the suspects include, “19-year-old Samuel Olumide, 21-year-old Quadri Oladipupo, 23-year-old Ojo Ifabomi, 24-year-old Tunde Balogun, 21-year-old Dayo Badmus, 20-year-old Adegunlola Tayo, and 21-year-old Simon Michael.
Mr Wahab said the arrest was part of ongoing effort to reclaim public spaces, protect commuters, and dismantle criminal activities thriving around critical transport corridors.
The commissioner insisted that bridges, highways, and pedestrian routes must remain safe for law-abiding residents, and not become havens for crime.
He stated that the suspects who have already been taken into custody, will be prosecuted in line with extant laws.
