In a daring midday operation on Thursday, 8th February, Rapid Response Squad (RRS) operatives sprang into action to quell a violent crisis in Idi Araba, Mushin.
The situation escalated when Muhammed Yaro (25) was apprehended wielding a machete and hammer, while others scattered at the sight of the police presence.
Later the same day, at approximately 11:00 p.m., RRS operatives conducted a strategic sweep across suspected flashpoints in Dopemu, Egbeda, Idimu, Council Roundabout, Ikotun, and surrounding areas.
The intensive operation resulted in the arrest of 31 individuals, marking a significant step in curbing criminal activities in these regions.
Following the arrests, the Commander of the RRS squad, CSP Yinka Egbeyemi, conducted a meticulous screening process. As a result, 18 of the apprehended suspects were released to their relatives after thorough examination. However, for the remaining 13, a determined course of action is in progress, as they are set to face prosecution in accordance with the directives of the Commissioner of Police, CP Adegoke Fayoade.
This decisive and coordinated effort by the Rapid Response Squad reflects their commitment to maintaining public safety and upholding the law in various communities, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted policing strategies.
