Operatives of the Lagos State Taskforce have arrested two suspected serial pickpockets, Sodiq Olagoke, 25, and Lucas Patrick, 26.
The suspects had dispossessed eight unsuspecting commuters of their phones around Oshodi/Ikeja Along axis before they were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, March 1.
The Taskforce officers who made the arrest said the suspects, who were roaming the area in their Danfo commercial bus, looked suspicious. The driver and the two male passengers seemed uneasy after driving past the officers.
The Lagos State Taskforce Chairman, CSP Shola Jejeloye, said Wednesday, March 2, that the suspects disclosed they make 80,000 Naira daily from their operations, using commercial vehicle (Danfo) as a guise.
Jejeloye vowed that the Agency will make the state uninhabitable for all criminal elements.
