The Lagos State Police Command has intensified its clampdown on criminal networks across the state, resulting in the recovery of nine high-end vehicles and several weapons, officials disclosed on Tuesday.

The announcement was made by Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, during a press briefing at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja. According to the Police, the seizures form part of ongoing operations targeting vehicle theft, armed robbery, cultism, and other violent crimes in Lagos State.

The recovered items include a variety of luxury SUVs, cars, motorcycles, and weapons such as pistols, shotguns, ammunition, and machetes. The Police also indicated that some vehicles had been stolen from trusted drivers or car-wash attendants, highlighting emerging trends in criminal activities.

CP Jimoh stressed that the operations are part of a broader crime-prevention strategy, particularly during the “ember months,” which historically see a rise in criminal activities. He urged residents to remain vigilant and continue collaborating with security agencies by reporting suspicious activities promptly.
