Mr Abolurin disclosed that NSCDC operatives also apprehended two deserters from the Togolese army.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has received bulletproof vests and helmets from the Lagos State Security Trust Fund.
He said the suspects had allegedly defrauded 17 victims.
“The criminal elements should not be allowed to take advantage of the good people of the state anymore,” he said.
Oluwaseun Abolurin, NSCDC’s spokesman in Lagos, disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Friday.
The suspects were nabbed illegally refining diesel at a location called Etal Avenue, off Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun in Ikeja.
