Police arrest two suspected robbers, recover weapons in Lagos

Officers from the Ikeja Division of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested two individuals suspected of armed robbery during a routine stop and search operation in Ikeja.

The command disclosed this in a post on X.com on Friday.

It read, “Two suspected armed robbers were arrested by officers of Ikeja Division while on Stop and Search along Allen-Opebi Road on August 6, 2024 at about 0115HRS.
