Among the 36 suspected criminals paraded by the Lagos State Police Command is a pastor. They were arrested

State specialized in buying stolen vehicles from robbers and selling to
unsuspecting people.
According to the statement made by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, an unregistered Toyota 4
Runner SUV, Toyota Camry with registration number AAA 391 AA, Toyota
Camry with number FKJ 441 DV, Lexus Rx30 with number LSR 520 RF, Toyota
Highlander SUV with number LSR 492 DX and Mitsubishi Pajero SUV with

Twelve guns, six axes and four cutlasses were recovered from the
suspected cultists. Some of the suspects confessed to having been
involved in kidnapping,
fraud, motorcycle robbery among others.
The CP noted that the rate of crime and other criminal
activities was gradually declining in the state, a success he attributed
to human capacity of the force and the quantum of logistics and
moral support given to the Command by the State government. He disclosed
to newsmen that the police were able to achieve these within two weeks,
between 7 January to 21 January, 2016.
