The Lagos State Police Command in collaboration with other security agencies and local security volunteers has nabbed 87 suspected Badoo members and declared 20 others wanted in connection with the activities of the gang in Ikorodu, Punch Metro reports.
The arrests were carried out in an all-night operation by security operatives on their hideouts in Owutu and Odongunya in Ikorodu.
According to the police, the extensive raid on the two areas was necessitated by more intelligence on the membership of the dreaded cult group and its mode of operations.
