The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, on Tuesday, said 520 suspects have been arrested in connection with the series of arson, vandalism, burgling and robbing of unsuspecting members of the public of their valuables during the unrest occasioned by the #EndSARS protest in the state.

Odumosu, who disclosed this during a press briefing at the command headquarters in the Ikeja area of the state, said the #EndSARS protest was hijacked by hoodlums, adding that the arrested suspects would be charged. While stating the facilities affected in the state, the CP said, “A lot of public and private facilities were set ablaze, our police stations were also burnt and vandalised.

“Based on the incidences, the command swung into action realising that this is no more #EndSARS, where lives and property are lost and vandalised and burnt. We realised that the protest had been hijacked by hoodlums, so we moved in and we were able to recover some of the stolen items and arrest the perpetrators.

“So far, 520 suspects have been arrested for various offences, ranging from arson, robbery, murder, rioting, malicious damage, and unlawful possession of firearms. All the suspects we have arrested are not #EndSARS protesters and they will all be charged.”

The PRADO Jeep driving thugs up and down. Help me ask them if Obasa boys from Agege has been arrested. Help me ask them above the Fulani herds men sent to Lagos last week if they have been arrested. Nigeria has now been a comedy show. Our leader and police are the actors.

They didn't arrest anyone, they handpick innocent citizen either on their way to work or on their way back. Some where pick up in their home. The real thugs are government property they cannot be touch. Help me ask them if the man in PRADO Jeep in Abuja has been arrested. SMH
