Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit, popularly known as Taskforce at the weekend raided streets within Central Business District , including surroundings of the ‘African Shrine’, Alausa, Ikeja arresting street urchins and drug users in the area.
Egbeyemi disclosed that 28 miscreants and 15 illegal street traders were arrested at various locations around Alausa, hinting that the raid was also initiated due to the nefarious acts within the vicinity of the African Shrine which presented a negative image to tourists and Lagosians as a whole. Egbeyemi maintained that the enforcement operations will be a continuous exercise in line with the vision of the present administration to rid the entire State of street urchins and criminals.
One of the arrested miscreants who was caught with a bag of substance suspected to be Indian hemp confirmed that he has been selling hard drugs for eight years, particularly around ‘African Shrine’ at Ikeja.
