Residents are being urged to report suspicious activities or individuals to the nearest police station or through official communication channels. Authorities warned that anyone found spreading panic, participating in fraud, or engaging in public disturbances would face strict legal action.
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, reiterated that the command remains committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents, businesses, and visitors. The arrest of these 26 suspects underscores the Police’s determination to dismantle criminal networks and maintain peace across Nigeria’s largest city, reinforcing public confidence in law enforcement agencies.
