The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (@rrslagos767) on Friday 18th December, 2020, arrested two suspected Awawa cult members in Oko-koto, Agege, hours after foiling a traffic robbery around Otedola Bridge on Lagos – Ibadan Expressway.

In compliance with the directive of the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, the raid on suspected hideouts and black spots across the state, particularly in Agege and its environs, was part of the proactive strategies to minimize crime in Lagos State.
Some of the areas raided included Isokoko, Oke-Koto, Abattoir, Dopemu, Elere, Oniwaya and Pen Cinema, all in Agege.
In the same vein, a team of the Rapid Response Squad led by CSP Yinka Egbeyemi, Commader @rrslagos767, had foiled traffic robbery on Friday 18th December, 2020.

Police ordering people out of the premises .... One of them with drinks in his hands trying to “explain” .... A lady also to tried to talk about “money” ... All ordered out ... Boys carrying their drinks along ... Hope they have paid sha 🤔🤔
Had a tour of the @fujiopera exhibition hall yesterday, As a Fuji fan, I am impressed with what @TosinAshafa is doing to the genre .. preserving records, keeping details, history and the importance of this Music and how new generation of musicians have tapped into it. #FujiOpera
The Love for Alhaji Agba is solidly in my soul ... It’s a CULTURE for us, especially my family .. At a point, when the guy showing me around started talking about Barrister, I took over from him, dropping songs for each event in history we talked about. 😄
@TosinAshafa ... This stuff is a very bold move .. I like the fact that the details captured the impact of Barrister’s “AIYE” Album on DISNEY WORLD, where he shared his detailed experience, just at the age of 37years old which earned him several awards. #fujiopera@fujiopera
