Underworld kingpin, 2 others nabbed by Lagos State Task Force

The Lagos State task force has arrested a boy of the underworld who is said to be the leader of a deadly gang called the ‘Awawaa Boys’ and 2 others at Aluminium village in Dopemu, Lagos.

According to the chairman of the Lagos State Task Force, SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, he said there have been repeated cases and reports of rapes, armed robbery and killings of innocent citizens by these boys which has giving both his agency and residents sleepless nights.

Going further, SP Olayinka said the agency had been doing its possible best to apprehend the other members who are still at large but have ordered the surveillance unit of the agency to closely monitor their activities in different parts of the Dopemu area where the atrocities are carried out.

According to Olayinka, the terrorising leaders who are still at large are Paul a.k.a (Bouncng) leader of ‘Nokia Group’ and Habeeb a.k.a (Oluwa) of ‘Shita Boys’ who have killed, raped and robbed innocent citizens of their valuable properties around Aluminium Village, Dopemu.

Tobi Akinbayo (a.k.a Scorpion) who lives at No. 10 Salako Street, Alluminium Village, Dopemu confessed that he and his boys raped, burgled and killed innocent citizens who confronted them during any of their operations around Dopemu area.

Tobi said: “We sell Indian helm to commercial bus drivers and area boys around Dopemu and its environs.”

SP Olayinka appealed to members of the public to be vigilant about their immediate environment and to always report activities of any terrorising group to the Lagos State Task Force. (TVC)
