Police Recover Chinese Made Pistol From Suspect In Lagos

Bamidele Taiwo

A 30-year-old man identified as Bamidele Taiwo has been arrested by the Safer Highways unit of the Lagos State Police Command for illegal possession of firearm.

The suspect was arrested during a routine stop-and-search at an entry point between Lagos and Ogun states in the Alagbado area of Lagos State.

Two other suspects who were with Bamidele on the same motorcycle took to their heels immediately the police discovered the Chinese-made pistol in their bag.

While efforts are on to arrest the fleeing suspects, Bamidele and the exhibit have been transferred to the State Headquarters for further investigations.
