Our Battle Against Criminals, By Lagos Anti-robbery Chief by Zeusd3(m): 6:46am On Aug 03, 2015 |
The commander of the Rapid
Response Squad (RRS), Assistant
Commissioner of Police (ACP) Tunji
Disu, has said armed robbers will be
kicked out of Lagos State.
ACP Disu said his men arrested over
181 suspects last month.
He told The Nation at the weekend
that the RRS did a crime mapping of
the state and is better placed to curb
armed robbery.
He said: “When I was posted to head
the RRS, we did crime mapping in line
with the directives of the CP and
located areas that are prone to
crimes.
”We identified Oshodi, Ikorodu, Ijora
among others as areas where traffic
robbers, bag snatchers as well as
those who steal from children and in
houses were rampant. So we decided
to start with those areas with greater
number.
”We raided under the bridges and
other hideouts of the miscreants and
in most cases, the suspects put up
resistance.
“We discovered that they post spies,
including juveniles on ground who
informed them of police arrival. At
times we saw their spies playing
cards.
“We were able to arrest the 181
because of the commitment of my
men. They have shown great
understanding and have remained
committed in our drive to ensure that
Lagos is safe for residents and
business.
“Lagosians should not be afraid. They
should go to sleep with their eyes
close because the police would clamp
down on criminals.
”But as you know, the police cannot
do much without information that is
why we are appealing to the general
public to furnish us with useful
information that will assist us serve
them better.”
Disu added that the suspects have
been handed over to the relevant
offices for further action.
On what the RRS was doing in respect
of incessant cult clashes in some
areas of the state, Disu said the CP
had issued a directive to all Divisional
Police Officers (DPOs) and Area
Commanders to fish out criminal
elements obstructing public peace,
adding that no stone would be left
unturned in maintaining peace and
security across the state. thenationonlineng.net/our-battle-against-criminals-by-lagos-anti-robbery-chief/ |
