The police command in Lagos State said it arrested four men for allegedly stealing three tricycles from an Ojota, Lagos-based mobility company.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in Lagos on Saturday.

The spokesperson said that the secretary of the mobility company reported the theft on Tuesday to the Ogudu Police Division at about 10.00 a.m.

Mr Hundeyin said that the company’s secretary reported that on Tuesday at about 7.00 a.m., he received a tip-off that three of the company’s tricycles were stolen by unknown persons.
