The apprehended notorious Lagos highway traffic robber, Ali
A notorious traffic robber, identified as Ali ‘m’, has been arrested in the Ikate area of Lekki, Lagos State.
The suspect, according to a statement from the state police command, was apprehended on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, while carrying out his nefarious activities.
The force spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said Ali was arrested following a collaboration between vigilant residents and the police.
Hundeyin stated that preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect, who posed as a beggar on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, terrorised unsuspecting motorists and robbed them of their cash and valuables under the threat of violence.
“The suspect will be arraigned contingent on the outcome of investigation,” Hundeyin noted. (The Guardian)
