Fresh onslaught against cultism and gang violence in Lagos State has led to arrest of no fewer than 185 suspects by special forces attached to Lagos State police command.
Two weeks ago, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, had ordered the deployment of Special Forces from the command’s tactical units to Ikorodu and environs to tackle the menace of cultism and gang violence.
It was gathered that operatives of the Special Strike Force on Social Miscreants took the battle to the cultist’s dens at Ikorodu, Ipakodo, Igbogbo, Ibeshe, Shagamu Road, Agbowa and other outskirts of the area.
The operation, which was intelligence-driven, targeted top leaders and members of various cults and gangs. (Guardian)
