The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Kosisochukwu Ogumbo of Okota, Lagos, alleged to have sent a bomb threat message to two schools in the Ikeja Government Reserved Area(GRA) last week.
It also arrested eight members of a notorious ‘one chance’ robbery syndicate and recovered four vehicles, used by the gang to rob unsuspecting public across the state.
The development was confirmed by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP) Olohundare Jimoh, at a press conference at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja.
According to him, at 4:00 p.m. on January 20, 2026, the Human Resources Manager and Chief Security Officer of the affected schools reported to the Ikeja Divisional Police Headquarters that they had received threatening WhatsApp messages from the same unidentified number.
The messages claimed that explosive devices had been planted within the school compound. (The Nation)
