Lagos police declare Ogboni chief wanted for threatening public peace
The Lagos State Police Command has declared one Tajudeen Olanrewaju Bakare wanted.
The journey of the man to police attention stated earlier this week following the emergence of a video earlier showing him wielding a pump action rifle and threatening public peace.
A statement by the state command Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said afterwards, the CSP Egbeyemi-led Rapid Response Squad, working on actionable intelligence, carried out a sting operation on the residence of the man in the Surulere area of the state.
Hundeyin added, “Found in the suspect’s residence were three pump action rifles, one Beretta pistol magazine, one expended 9mm ammunition, one expended and three live cartridges and a picture frame of the suspect.
“The suspect, Tajudeen Olanrewaju Bakare, narrowly escaped arrest and is hereby declared wanted. Any useful information leading to his arrest will be highly appreciated and treated with utmost confidentiality.
“While appreciating Lagosians for their vigilance and prompt information to security agencies, the Lagos State Police Command once again warns all trouble makers to steer clear of the state as anyone found wanting would be dealt with in accordance with the law.”
