THE Lagos State Police Command has declared one Tajudeen Olanrewaju Bakare, the President of the Supreme Body of the Ogboni Association Worldwide, wanted for allegedly wielding a pump action rifle and threatening public peace in the state.
This information was disclosed by the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin in a statement on Thursday, February 2, 2023, who stated that Tajudeen was declared wanted following the emergence of a video posted online earlier this week showing the suspect wielding a pump action rifle and threatening public peace.
The statement reads, “The CSP Egbeyemi-led Rapid Response Squad (RRS), working on actionable intelligence, carried out a sting operation on the residence of the man in the Surulere area of the state.
“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 would be highly appreciated and treated with the utmost confidentiality.”
While appreciating Lagosians for their vigilance and prompt information to security agencies, Hundeyin, once again, warned all troublemakers to steer clear of the state as anyone found wanting would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
