•Vows To Deal With Anyone Engaging In Breach Of Public Peace
FOLLOWING the emergence of a video earlier this week showing a man wielding a pump action rifle and allegedly threatening public peace, the CSP Egbeyemi-led Rapid Response Squad (RRS), working on actionable intelligence, has carried out a sting operation on the residence of the alleged culprit in the Surulere area of Lagos State.
Reportedly found in the suspect’s residence were three pump action rifles, one Beretta pistol magazine, one expended 9mm ammunition, one expended and three live cartridges and a picture frame of the suspect.
The suspect, Tajudeen Olanrewaju Bakare, was said to have escaped arrest and has been declared wanted.
“Any useful information leading to his arrest would be highly appreciated and treated with utmost confidentiality”, a release from the Command stated.
“While appreciating Lagosians for their vigilance and prompt information to security agencies, the Lagos State Police Command once again warns all troublemakers to steer clear of the state as anyone found wanting would be dealt with in accordance with the law”.
