Two ex- convicts along with one other have reportedly been arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad  (RRS) over alleged robbery in Lagos.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspects were nabbed for robbing a passer-by on Olowopopo Way beside Otedola Bridge.

Identified as Osazee Festus, 33, Matial Anthony, 23, both ex-convicts, and Osinachi Nwachukw were  said to have been apprehended in the early hours of Saturday, February 04, 2023. 

The Police Public Relations Officer of Lagos State Command SP Benjamin Hundeyin made the disclosure in a release on Tuesday.

He disclosed that, ” The trio, wielding a cutlass, accosted their victim at about 6:20 a.m. and dispossessed him of his Samsung A19 mobile phone. 

” The victim promptly alerted RRS officers close to the scene, who swiftly arrested two of the suspects and recovered the phone. Investigations following the arrests led to the arrest of the third suspect. 

” Osazee was released from prison on February 02, 2023 after eight months behind bars while Anthony regained freedom in June 2022″.

Meanwhile, Commander of the RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, has transferred the three suspects to the Command Headquarters for further investigations.
