Lagos State Envitonmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) operatives yesterday arrested eight miscreants for attacking its operational vehicle around Idi-oro, Mushin, Lagos.
Its Chairman, Olayinka Egbeyemi, a Superintendent of Police (SP), said in a statement that, the miscreants and hoodlums attacked the agency’s enforcement team and vandalised its operational vehicle.
He said the miscreants usually attacked the agency’s enforcement team with dangerous weapons, such as broken-bottles, cutlasses, stones and iron-rod whenever it tried to enforce the Lagos State Road Traffic Law of 2012 around Akala and Idi-oro.
Egbeyemi said Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni had directed that the miscreants be charged to court.
The miscreants’ activities, he said, had become worrisome, adding that no government would allow innocent citizens to be terrorised.
Those arrested include Ahmed Gafar, 31, Onuoha Cajetehan, 35, Lateef Hamsat, 40, Femi Adebayo, 34, Bello Olasukanmi, Yusuf Kazim, 2, Olalekan Alleluyah, 24 and Obina Emgba, 39.
