Amid the Coronavirus lockdown in Lagos, operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have apprehended three suspects for mugging stranded commuters.
The suspects targeted passengers stranded in a vehicle around Oshodi, robbing them of N10k in cash and stealing their phones. These culprits were eventually traced to their hideout.
A Twitter post by the RRS highlighted the incident:
