Claim that 30 suspected terrorists have been arrested in Lagos has drawn response from the State Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh.
The report of the terrorists’ arrests went viral on social media.
Jimoh made response to it in an interview he granted The Nation in which he denied it.
The Police chief added that the report arose from the apprehension of 27 persons by officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) during a raid in Lekki.
“The KAI (LAGESC) officials carried out a raid based on information received about activities of some fraudulent people in Lekki. During the raid, they arrested 26 suspects for fraudulent activities who were of no fixed address.
“The officials moved the suspects including children to their head office at Bolade Oshodi, where they were handed over to the police for further action.
“Those arrested were found with fake foreign currencies. The suspects are also foreigners,” the police boss clarified.
