The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has reaffirmed its commitment to combating crime through proactive measures designed to enhance public safety and strengthen trust in law enforcement.

Force Spokesperson, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, emphasized that recent operations across the country underscore the NPF’s dedication to safeguarding lives and property.

During a routine patrol on February 7, 2025, officers from the Satellite Division of the Lagos State Police Command intercepted 24-year-old Wisdom Obi at Abule Ado bus stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Amuwo Odofin. Obi was riding an unregistered motorcycle, which prompted officers to conduct a search. They discovered a brownie pistol and 13 live rounds concealed inside an MP3 radio. The suspect was immediately arrested, and both the motorcycle and the recovered items were seized as evidence. Investigations are currently ongoing.

That same day, February 7, 2025, officers from the Orile Iganmu Division apprehended four suspected traffic robbers who were attempting to rob passengers stranded in a broken-down vehicle at the Ascon White Sand area. The suspects, identified as Kadir Ibrahim, Ifeanyin John, Oduwole Shola, and Rilwan Olajuwon, are now in custody, with investigations underway.

The Nigeria Police Force has urged citizens to remain vigilant, particularly against traffic robbers who disguise themselves as street vendors while targeting unsuspecting motorists and commuters during traffic jams.

Additionally, on February 5, 2025, the Ikoyi Division responded to reports of a violent altercation between 33-year-old Okeke Johnchris and William Wisdom at Falomo Square, Ikoyi, which tragically escalated.
