Couple Arrested For Illegal Possession Of Firearm In Lagos

Three people; a couple and a woman, have been arrested for illegal possession of firearm (a pistol) and taken into custody by the police in Lagos State.

It was gathered that cops had stopped and search two women in the Ipaja area of the state and they were discovered to be in possession of a firearm.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that spokesman for the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed their arrest in an X.com post on Tuesday.

He noted that the arrest came after a routine but non-intrusive search by cops, countering possible public misinterpretations of police conduct.

 ‘See these police officers harassing two ladies, insisting on searching their bags…

After a cursory and non-intrusive look at the contents of their bags, this semi-automatic pistol was found in their possession by police officers of Ipaja Division.

One of the ladies led the police to the owner of the firearm – her husband.

Case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

One less illegal firearm in circulation. #LagosPoliceNG is your friend!’ he wrote-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
