The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Adegoke Fayoade, had promised to rid the state of criminals.
Mr Hundeyin said that the three suspects were arrested on Saturday at about 6:30 a.m. by the police.
“The police got information that some boys were seen in military uniform disturbing the peace of Oke-Odan community in Ishashi,” he said.
