According to him, the suspects were arrested during an operation which took place across key locations, including Chisco Roundabout, Elegushi, Ikate Roundabout and Marwa Bus Stop.
Abdulraheem said that the operation was carried out following series of complaints lodged by concerned motorists and residents through the agency’s feedback channels.
He said the individuals reported an alarming rise in criminal activities, particularly during rush hour, where hoodlums hide at inconspicuous spots along the expressway to attack unsuspecting passersby and motorists.
“We cannot allow these criminal elements to hold our people hostage in their own communities.
“The state government remains steadfast in its resolve to protect lives and property.
“This operation is a testament to our unwavering dedication to this cause,” the spokesperson said.
Abdulraheem further said that the agency had carried out initial surveillance in the area raided.
