Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Enforcement Agency Task Force has arrested four suspects linked to the August 13 attack on a Bus Rapid Transport, BRT.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the task force, CSP Tayo Akerele, in a media conference on Wednesday in Lagos, noted that the bus was en route from Orile-Iganmu to Alaba Suru, when it was attacked.<\/p>\n

Akerele listed the suspects as Ilesanmi Kazeem, Ibrahim Lawal, Daniel Abati and Mohammed Ali.<\/p>\n

Recall that a bus belonging to the state-regulated BRT with the identification number 240216, travelling from Mile 2 Terminal to Lagos Island, was attacked on Aug.13 by suspected hoodlums.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred around Alaba Suru, where occupants were robbed of their belongings and the bus vandalised.<\/p>\n

Akerele reiterated the government\u2019s zero tolerance for destructive acts, adding that prosecuting the offenders would serve as a deterrent for others.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiscreants generally have the attitude to launch this kind of attack. It is part of their behaviour. We must bring them to justice, which of course, we have just done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, ACP (Operation), Lagos Command, Emmanuel Oyewole, said that the raid embarked by men of the task force on that axis produced the suspects.<\/p>\n

Oyewole said that it was unfortunate that the passengers were attacked, robbed and injured, adding that the government would not condone such an act.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, four of them have been apprehended. One Mohammad Ali, aged 30, who was apprehended mentioned the other three, while others are still at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offence was carried out in daylight by the hoodlums. It is highly condemnable. So at the end of our investigation, they will be charged to court,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
