Detectives from the Lagos State Bariga Police Station have detained a 23-year-old Olowolayemo Sodiq, a notorious suspect of highway robbery and suspected cults leader who had been on the wanted list.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Officer for Public Relations (PPRO), Lagos Police Command, DSP Bala Elkana, and made available on Sunday to newsmen.
Elkana said Sodiq, who stayed at 10, Onenaya Road, Bariga, conspired with one Bamidele Moses a.k.a Badoo and hijacked one of his Bajaj’s motorcycles from Jude Saka in December 2019.
“His accomplice was initially arrested by detectives from Bariga and transferred to the State Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in October 2019.
“The suspect has been on the police wanted list for series of traffic robberies and cult violent attacks in Bariga.
“The Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered that the suspect be transferred to SARS for further investigation and diligent prosecution,” Elkana said.
