OSHODI: WORK IN PROGRESS
For some years now, Oshodi has been on the radar of Rapid Response Squad (RRS). Apart from positioning its officers there with an armour personnel carrier, the officers of its undercover team occasionally prowl the length and breadth of Oshodi at night to keep the bad boys at bay.
On the average, every week, RRS officers arrest four robbers and pickpockets in Oshodi.
With these arrests, there have been ceaseless reports of dispossession of belongings of passersby by the bad boys in Oshodi.
Daily, RRS monitors print and electronic reports and we are concerned about some of these reports of harassment at night and at dawn.
Presently, RRS is reinforcing its presence in Oshodi, especially at night.
On Thursday, its management led by its Commander, ACP Olatunji Disu and his second in Command, CSP Samuel Awopetu, as well as Head of Operations, DSP Akinwunmi Oke, toured some of the areas where the bad guys usually converge at night.
The team was equally joined by the DPO of Oshodi.
Yesterday, RRS was in these areas to have another round of feel of Oshodi at night. And, of great concern was Oshodi Oke, where we heard all manners of stories from our interrogations of passers-by.
Before the team left, three of the boys were arrested.
We would keep you posted as renewed clampdown of pickpockets and robbers begin in Oshodi.
