Operatives of Operation Crush from Bariga Police Station have arrested a 19 year old Ifeoluwa Dodo alleged to be a strong member of Aiye confraternity at Odo-Eran Street, Bariga.

The spokesman of the Lagos State Police command, Mr. Bala Elkana who confirmed the arrest to newsmen said that the suspect had been on the wanted list of the Police for the murder of one Ojo Taiwo in February, 2019 at Bariga.

Elkana added that the suspect had escaped after leading eight other members of his cult to carry out the murder adding that five members of his gang were initially arrested and charged to court for murder.

He further disclosed that the operatives also arrested one Kunle Oyediran, 24, of Ifelodun Street, Bariga with two other members of his gang on the same date at about 5.30pm.

He added that the arrested suspects were responsible for series of violent attacks and robberies in Bariga noting that the suspects would be charged to court.

Giving the rundown of other arrests made by the operatives of Operation Crush, the Lagos Police spokesman said,” On 27th June , 2019 at about 2.14pm, operatives of Operation Crush from Anti-cultism Unit, acting on a tip-off arrested one Peter Ejovwoke ‘m’ 26 years old of Ughelli North, Delta State at Ago Hausa Street  Ajeromi, Ajegunle.
