Police patrol officers from the Ketu Division have apprehended a 28-year-old ex-convict, Olayinka Oluwaseyi, for attempting to rob a motorist on the Mile 12 Bridge in the early hours of May 13.
According to police sources, Oluwaseyi was armed with two knives at the time of the incident and was arrested around 1:30 a.m. thanks to the swift response of the patrol team.
Another suspect involved in the attempted robbery managed to flee and is currently at large. Police have launched a manhunt to apprehend the fleeing accomplice.

The suspect is presently in police custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, commended the officers for their prompt action. He also called on the public to remain vigilant and support law enforcement by reporting suspicious activity.
