No fewer than 51 suspected members of a notorious highway gang who have been harassing and extorting truck drivers along the Apapa/Oshodi and Lagos/Badagry Expressways in Lagos State have been arrested by a Task Force.
A media aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Jibrin Gawat, who disclosed this on his X handle (formerly Twitter), said the successful operation was led by the chairman of the Taskforce, CSP Shola Jejeloye on Tuesday.
Gawat explained that the suspects operate under the guise of working for the defunct Lagos State Parks and Garages Agency with their brazen tactics of coercing truck drivers to part with money.
