In a press conference held at the Command headquarters on Friday, the Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, shared the accomplishments of Operation Flush. He stated, “The operation was launched to tackle pockets of crime that were resurfacing in parts of Lagos State. Beyond that, the operation is also to support existing frameworks for battling violent crimes like robbery and cultism amongst other vices.”

Within the one-week period under review, a total of 39 suspects engaged in various criminal activities, such as murder, armed robbery, stealing, cultism, and vandalization, were apprehended and paraded by the police.

Notably, during these arrests, the police successfully recovered six firearms, twenty-six live ammunition, two expended ammunition, a battle axe, four vehicles, hard drugs, counterfeit currencies, wristwatches, phones, a knife, and aluminum rails.

Assuring the residents of Lagos, the Commissioner of Police pledged that the command would continue to take all necessary operational measures to reduce crime and criminality to the barest minimum in the State. With Operation Flush in action, the police are determined to ensure a safer and more secure environment for the people of Lagos.
