Four suspected traffic marauders who have been terrorizing people especially commuters and pedestrians on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, are now cooling their heels in police cells.

The traffic robbers, who operate on motorcycles, were apprehended by eagle-eyed and dutiful policemen attached to Onireke Division on the crater-riddled road.

The cops on operation “Stop-and-Search” caught them like chickens a motorcycle conveying four passengers (the four robbers).

Items recovered from them include two cutlasses, one jack knife, weeds suspected to be Indian hemp, two bottles of ICED intoxicant substance (Hehila) and five stolen phones.

Contacted by Persecondnews, the command’s spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Chief Superintendent, said the arrests were a proof of the command’s commitment to descend on traffic robbers and flush them out of Lagos State.
