In a statement on its official X handle, the Lagos State government said the 18-year-old suspect was caught in the act around 10:00 a.m.
Thirty-one of the suspects would be prosecuted, said RRS.
“The machete-wielding suspect was arrested at about 4am on Acme Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos, in company with four others now at large.’’
He said the suspects were arrested at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday during RRS operatives’ routine patrol of the area.
Police said the girls “revealed that they were fleeing the custody of a mistress who brought them from Akwa Ibom to Lagos under the guise of employment.”
