Police Arrest Over 200 Suspected Looters In Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command says it has arrested over 200 suspects for their involvement in the series of looting recorded in the state.

The police commissioner stated that the arrested persons took advantage of the #EndSARS protest and got mixed with demonstrators to commit the crime. “All these ones are mop-up operations that we are doing, there is no way I will put on an army uniform without a trained army not seeing fault in the way I put it on because I am not trained to put it on. So, we have intelligence, we have sent our men out.”

Sometimes I laugh over these news headlines. They are quick to arrest masses who are suspects very quickly while the main thieves who are hiding palliatives with gross wickedness are yet to be investigated. shametonigerianleadersandlawenforcementagents

Better you leave everybody alone and let start new government a fresh

What investigation was done to indict these ones because we all know the regular police pattern of grabbing innocent people into a vehicle with the aim of Making gains via bail,a unit that can't even investigate criminals within it's ranks

Hmmm nice work government, BUT WHY DID YOU GOVERNMENT KEEP THIS ITEMS FOR SO LONG please explain to us...?

by doing can bring problems because some of them may be innocent.

I don't know when Nigeria police became Vanda

What are we reporting, which system of government are we operating. Lagos state government that prevented the Masses from receiving their covid 19 palliatives are now the one calling the people looters.

What about those who comited murder at lekki

You still havent arrested the ones responsible for lekkimassacre

Who are those looters? The one who hoard what is meant for public or those that took what by law belongs to them.

This a time for community healing, restructuring and building. Those caught can be made to do community services for their offenses, have some re orientation programs for them to reflect and change their mindsets. The number keeps growing.

And then what next? The courts are already too busy to take on this number of cases anyway. Best let them go with a warning abi?

The focus is shifting from addressing what caused the looting to recovering looted items. Which is more important? The number will keep growing and do they have places to keep all that are been arrested?

Over 200 suspected looters and I didn't see Tinubu the jagaban of all looters and his wife , didn't see fashola ,sanwo olu .means the police ended up arresting nobody

How can people loot things that legitimately belong to them? They aren't looters.

Eheheh! Wonders shall never end oooo

Pls wat is the basis for this arrest made? Were proper investigations carried out ?

As we've all agreed not to vote for APC&PDP nor their politicians at all level anymore. Now we want young people with progressive minds to start coming together to form a new party. Let's start mobilising ourselves and getting ready for next election from now. Time4NewNigeria

When are we going to arrest people who loot our national treasury and contractors who were paid and refused to carry out the job, when?

A brave snake saving a fish from drowning.. this is how the Nigerian media report their own news these days .. una well done. Oloshi people

I hope it is not innocent citizens they are arresting... The ones wey come disrupt the protest for alausa una never arrest them o

But they have not done anything about the useless Nigerianpolice brutality and HQNigerianArmy shooting at Lekki

Why them in government loot money ment for people.. They kept peopel in abject poverty... Evil...You children will die soon

IFB no restriction

If government take this guy to Court because of looting Covid-19 food, dino_melaye what government will do for the governor does not distribute this items? because we see some governor in Nigeria distribute this item to the poor people. SaharaReporters

Have they arrested this guy

Looting all over.Though Sokoto,Kebbi,Zamfara, Katsina,Gombe,Bauchi, Yobe,Borno,Jigawa & Kano hv nt reported incidences of looting yet.What is d common denominator?Are they nt d poorest of states?Then possibly they hv contentment & hv nt surrendered completely to d material world?

Where will they be kept with the congested prisons? As the nation battle Corona virus scourge.We arrest motorists without nosemask .These suspected looters risk infection of Corona virus.Pls let save humanity.

Calm down. We know how these arrests are made

Omo see different kind of heads 🙂🙂🙂

But cannot arrest a single looter

Very good, let's see how they go about prosecution in line with the fundamental rights of the individual. Check the processing, this is at the heart of police brutality

Yadda zakaga massage din da aka turo maka kafin ka karanta aka goge a kowane social media

TREASURY LOOTERS sent UNIFORMED LOOTERS to arrest FOOD LOOTERS Now who will the FOOD LOOTERS send to arrest the TREASURY LOOTERS? ME: I don't support any form of looting. But let he that goes to equity go with a clean hand.

Who is real looter here, is it the hungry masses or the criminal in power.

Victimization!!!! EndSARs

Photoshoot

The NigeriaPolice will always be busy arresting innocent citizens and back up the bad government looters every day and night, bad evil Nigeria government, remember there will be no peace for the wicked and NigeriaPolice will never no peace mad people everywhere!

If the FG and State Governments did this to the killer SARS members there would not have been any LekkiMassacre and there would not have been Looters EndSARS

You see how fullish and weeked you nigeria government are citizens that went to take what belong to them which you supposed to give them during the look down instead you people hide it in order to sell it to them and take money from them while is there right shame on you all Evel

But the real looters in Agbadas in Aso rock, Senate, HOR, Governors are still not arrested. The thunder wey go fire una still dey do press up. Armed thieves operating in legalized uniform with guns. Kettle calling pot black.

Una dae mad sha

I didn't see their grandfather AsiwajuTinubu in their midst. They are not complete. 😏

NigeriaPolice have you guys started parking innocent citizens again?

NGRPresident HouseNGR NGRSenate I suggest govt should be very careful with these arrests of hungry youths with no jobs across the country so as not to heat up the already ugly situation

And they are happy to arrest them.. The PoPO should be ashamed of demsel and this failed 60yO govnt... if life gel people go dey drag stuffs to eat?.. This is 2020 and not every Family man fit buy a 50KG OF RICE very 6 MONTHS. SHAME ON U.

Wow 😂😂. That was quick, considering they were not identifiable like the SARS officials. The energy though.

So you mean they handcuffed all these people? Is it nollywood movie? Cos I am not sure police there are up to 1000 to must have contained 200 people at once. I don't do digestive biscuits, please give me speedy

Who will arrest the officers on the live videos we all saw that were also involved in the looting ?

How sure are u that they're all looters? Besides, I think d only people that should be arrested are those who destroyed individual businesses&properties and not those who took what was rightfully theirs. Ensure u take d right steps b4 u repeat what we've been complaining about.

Poor Nigerians are always victimised. But they have made laws to protect the real looters in the National Assembly. Free them: they only took what belongs to them in the warehouse.

Please let the same energy used in arresting looters be used also on the group of individuals that hoarded Covid- palliatives. Such level of wickedness cannot be overlooked or swept under the carpet.

Use the same zeal to arrest the killers of the peaceful protesters at Lekki gate and those killing and displacing villagers from their homes. Display them too for all to see. Different laws for different folks in Nigeria

Lmaooooooo. Food 👌Government shame

They should be ashamed of themselves. What about does who hid the palliatives? Even allowing the food items to get bad. That crime is even worse than murder. They are not suppose to arrest the looters unless they looted a private business or store.

This will overburden the Police and Justice system! All these states arresting 100, 200,500 suspected palliative looters ,hope they have enough police cells to accommodate the suspects

When are they going to announce killer police men, army officers who shot peaceful protesters Shameless people arrest hungry people.

Suspected? So why are they arresting them

20-10-2020. The government of the day have started arresting culprits that vandalized, looted and killed officer's during the fall out of the ENDSARS Protest but they are yet to identify the army officer's that killed protesters at Lekki toll gate. What do you think?

What is holding FG and ASUU settlement, could it be that because Children of the Executive and National Assembly Members are in Private Universities in Abroad and Nigeria, when will this come to an end for the children of the Poor to go back to school?

It’s easy to arrest suspected looters without panel of enquiry but not easy for you to arrest rogue police officers without panel of enquiry ? EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA

Why will I follow ur guys

I pity the innocent ones among them!

Arrest those responsible for lekki killings and don’t be stupid

Be like say no detty december for hoodlums oo

Or they came too see if they can loot anything lootable at the station.... I pity the police station

200? Eeeh ehn but how many of the 20.10.2020 perpetrators have u guys arrested?

Follow for instant follow back guys❤️❤️

You're on twitter and we ain't following each other, o wrong now, common. Let's grow together. I follow back ASAP try my speed 🛩️

And what of the palliative hijackers who chose to keep these items from the people since March that the Covid-19 lockdown was initiated almost throughout the whole country? I guess they where Applauded and Celebrated for their Heartlessness to their people.

How Nigeria police arrested 200 looters less than 48hrs EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria

Then why haven't they arrested the hoodlums endsars

Why are Looters of our national wealth not being arrested in the same manner?Hypocrites.

Useless people

They deserve to be punished for their sins.

They'll just be picking up innocent ppl

How I wish we can go after the LOOTERS OF OUR ECONOMY with the same speed

What of the thugs that attacked protesters?

Not just arrest these guys go after the politicians and media that spread the FakeNews that's only way justice can be seen to be done

The Lagos State and Federal Governments of Nigeria 🇳🇬 still don't get the message. The focus right now should be addressing the issues raised by those peacefully- protesting young people. The most sensible and articulate solutions were those preferred by Erelu Dosunmu of Lagos.

If police can arrest this numbers of people as Suspected looters.What about those Oga at the top Who have been looting from Nigeria treasury and Siphoning funds main for the Basic Amenities of the Citizen.Maybe because it is Authority Looting.

Hope Bola Tinubu was one of them

they are looking for who to punish unjustly endinjustice EndsSARS LekkiMassacre

I hope they have this man arrested too else this country na scam. Ifb

And zero politician: original looters... In God we trust. EndSARS BadGovernanceInNigeria

Pls I hope it's not PoliceNG biz as usual where innocent peeps will be forced into trucks as criminals. And while at it, PoliceNG quickly arrest all our public fund looters of d past 20+yrs. endPoliceBrutality endEvilGovernance

Hopeless leaders, old & young in your governed states re fighting for free food that's rightly theirs. They aren't ashamed of their failed leadership! Now they sent our soldiers for their arrest...

Arresting guys on Dreads 😒

Where the police dey the road is empty no police no last man so how did they do to get those people

Suspected Looters of what actually ? I doubt the officers knew why they arrested them.

This country is a joke

But that man with gray hair kinda look like Inspector Fashola 🤔

Now we go door to door to punish looters while those rulers, politicians,gov, senators that embezzled & loot nigeria money are free on the street. What a crazy and stupid economy we have in this country. Where's Abacha recovery money?

If Nigeria government can arrest people that just take away their rice ,the government can please help Nigerian arrest money' looters too

Why are the police arresting them? Are the palliatives not meant for us all? This police self, they need to think twice. Some common sense is lacking

Police Dan resume

Ur tag dem looters what about all dis criminals politicians dat syphon our money.who is fooly who.

They didn't realize they were breaking the law did they? Somewhere in their twisted minds they were justified in robbing people who were just trying to run a business? There is no excuse for torching buildings either.

Useless police so now Covid-19 is gone but later useless NCDC will come and talk rubbish

Please release them if they can return their loots if it's from private business ,but any hoodlums that killed and destroyed should not go unpunished
