Police officers from the Lagos Rapid Response Squad thwarted an attempted hijacking of their patrol bike in Ikeja on Sunday, leading to the apprehension of a 19-year-old suspect, Akinjobi Wahab, while four accomplices managed to flee the scene.

According to Benjamin Hundeyin, the Public Relations Officer of the command, the officers, who were patrolling in plain clothes, encountered the suspect wielding a machete as he tried to snatch their patrol motorcycle.

Hundeyin explained, “Rapid Response Squad operatives in plain clothes, patrolling on a motorcycle, have arrested a robbery suspect, Akinjobi Wahab, aged 19 while trying to snatch their motorcycle. The machete-wielding suspect was arrested at about 4 am on Acme Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja in company of four others now at large. This is coming on the heels of the emplacement of regular foot and vehicular patrols in the area by the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, in response to repeated complaints that robbers operate around Agidingbi, Ikeja very early mornings.”

Last week, PUNCH reported the arrest of one Sodiq, allegedly a member of a notorious gang of robbers specializing in snatching motorcycles, at the Ilesa Garage area of Osogbo, Osun State.
