“The five suspects involved were arrested on Wednesday and they will be charged to court soon,” he said.
The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) has confirmed the arrest of five men whose gang specialised in extorting innocent pedestrians in different parts of the state.
The public relations officer of the agency, Ajayi Lukman, in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday, confirmed the arrest.
Mr Lukman said that the suspects were involved in extorting crossing pedestrians at the International Trade Fair Bus Stop on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
According to the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps X handle and a viral video, they were arrested for demanding N100 from each person following heavy rainfall on Wednesday.
