Police conduct surveillance operations in Lagos state’ Harmony Estate

Men of the Nigeria Police Force from Area P, Alagbado, on Thursday, 29th of February, 2024, conducted extensive surveillance in Harmony Estate, located in Aboru, Lagos State.

The development came as a result of repeated complaints from residents regarding the disruptive activities of young men gathering at the entrance of the estate for gambling, selling or smoking hard drugs, as well as harassing and impeding the free movement of residents. Additionally, there have been reports of these individuals extorting passers-by.

Benjamin Hundeyin, who’s the Lagos police force spokesman made this known in a statement, via its X handle on Friday, 1st of March, 2024.

Part of the statement reads:

“Following repeated complaints from residents of Harmony Estate, Aboru, Lagos about the activities of young men in the habit of converging around the entrance of the estate at morning and night gambling, selling/smoking hard drugs, harassing/hindering free movement of residents and extorting passers-by, operatives of the Command drawn from Area P, Alagbado carried out a thorough surveillance of the area and subsequently stormed the area at about 0800 hours on Thursday, February 29, 2024, to arrest the miscreants.

“A total of eight suspects were arrested with substances, suspected to be hard drugs, resulting in the blockage of road by other miscreants who demanded the release of their cohorts before the Police could leave the vicinity. The miscreants equally assaulted the officers, who, however, called for and received reinforcement, enabling them to successfully move the suspects and exhibits to the station.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
