Residents of Idi-Oro, axis
of Mushin have called on the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, to ensure that the
four suspects arrested with an AK 47 rifle belonging to a deceased policeman
and a pump action gun were prosecuted.
The suspects, Identified as
Rasheed Adeshina, aka, Action, Salami Rauf, Waheed Oseni and Azeez gbadamosi,
were arrested recently when operatives, at the D9 Section of the State Criminal Investigations Department,
SCID, Panti, Yaba, raided a bakery where the suspects kept the rifles.
The suspects were members
of a faction of the NURTW, involved in a protracted bloody war of supremacy
between factions of the NURTW in Mushin, which led to the death of several
persons, while properties, worth millions have been destroyed.
Eyewitnesses said that the
hoodlums stormed a popular fillings station operating at Mushin Bus Stop and
vandalized all the vehicles including commercial buses operating within the
area. They were also said to have attacked and robbed some innocent passers-by
during the clash.
The residents, however,
urged the police boss to spread his drag net and apprehend those who procured
guns for the suspects.
Taiwo Alade, said; “The
police needs to arrest the people backing these boys if they want lasting peace
in Mushin. These boys have given the police the names of the people and the
police know them very well. In fact, I saw No Case, who they said bought the
Ak47 rifle and the pump action gun for them, walking freely in Mushin and I
wonder why he has not been arrested to tell the police how a police rifle was
found in possession of his boys.
”This is a serious
issue.” Meanwhile, Yesterday’s clash in
Mushin, began when hoodlums loyal to one Illesami and Wasiu Oloriesho,
controlling the Idi-Oro axis of the Agege Motor Road, allegedly attacked their
rivals at Mushin Bus Stop, led by one Ike and Akeem Aganran, also known as No
Case.
They destroyed several
vehicles while some passers-by sustained some injuries.
