Lagos police raid criminal hideout in Alimosho, arrest suspects

Lagos police conducted a nighttime raid in the Alimosho area targeting a suspected criminal hideout near the Oko Filling bus stop. The operation involved setting fire to a dump site believed to be used by armed robbers and burning down the location, with several suspects arrested. Security forces deployed heavily, with numerous patrol vehicles present, causing panic among residents who reported hearing gunshots. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with some claiming the police clashed with a group of individuals referred to as 'cultists.' While social media posts suggested resistance from the occupants, these claims remain unverified. The Lagos State Police Command has not issued an official statement, and the operation has raised new concerns among nearby communities.
