Lagos drivers lament police extortion as taskforce dislodges traffic offenders

The newly-appointed Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Ishola Olanrewaju, has declared war on crime, vowing to “smoke out” criminals from the state.

At his inaugural media briefing, on Wednesday, he paraded 98 suspected criminals and emphasised a proactive approach to dismantling criminal networks across the state.

Olanrewaju’s strategy includes partnering road transport unions to tackle “one-chance” robberies.

He said, to ensure public safety, all commercial buses would be tagged and easily identifiable, so passengers would know exactly which bus they’re boarding.

He emphasised a proactive approach to crime-fighting, detailing his team’s readiness to dismantle criminal networks across Lagos.

Olanrewaju also announced a partnership with road transport unions to tackle “one-chance” robberies, ensuring all commercial buses were tagged and easily identifiable.

“Whoever enters a bus must know the bus they are boarding,” he said, highlighting the importance of this initiative in ensuring public safety.

Olawale detailed the results of several coordinated police operations that have rattled Lagos’ criminal underworld.

These operations, he noted, resulted in the arrest of suspects involved in various crimes, including armed robbery, cultism, kidnapping, and drug trafficking.

Significant seizures were made, including weapons, narcotics, stolen goods, firearms, ammunition, $402 in cash, and 39 bags of stolen rice—highlighting the extensive reach of organised crime into everyday life.
