In continuation of its onslaught on
militants operating from the creeks, Lagos State Police Command early this
morning raided and recovered seven army and police bullet proof vests, eight
ballistic helmets and nine life jackets from a new kidnappers hideouts in
Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos.
The hideout was discovered at about
8:00 a.m yesterday by a team of Ikorodu Special Anti – Robber Squad (SARS) and
Volunteer Police led by Superintendent Godfrey Soriweiu.
This success came two weeks after
the discovery of a similar hideout in Ishawo, Ikorodu, Lagos.
The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, CP Fatai Owoseni had two weeks ago charged the team to embark on a
continuous combing of the Lagos waterways and creeks in search of suspected
kidnappers.
The suspected kidnappers, who were
preparing their morning meal scampered into safety on sighting the special team
abandoning several items.
Other item recovered by the team
includes a speed boat belonging to the suspected kidnappers.
The team thereafter destroyed the
hideout before moving the recovered items out of the location.
While the team is continuing with
its operation, Owoseni charged the team to redouble its efforts in ensuring
that Lagos creeks are free of kidnappers.
In another development, seven (7)
suspected militants arrested by the Military in Ondo were handed over to the
Lagos State Police Command also yesterday.
The suspects are members of the late
notorious militant (Ossy) gang.
The arrested suspects will soon be
arraigned
