The Police Command in Lagos State has arrested one Korede Anifowose, of 24, Omisakin St., Agbelekale, Abule Egba suburb of Lagos for attacking one Sola Musa, a Point Of Sale (POS) operator.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday.
Adejobi said that Anifowose had attacked the POS operator and was later chased by the anti-crime police operatives before he was eventually arrested.

“One locally made pistol and some expended cartridges were recovered from him.
“The command has deemed it necessary to beam its searchlight on attackers of POS operators.
“This is based on complaints the Command has received on the antics of criminals who terrorise POS operators in the state,” he said.
Adejobi said that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Mr Hakeem Odumosu, has mandated Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to beef-up security around those dealing with liquid cash.
“The Command cannot afford to leave them or anyone in the state unprotected,” Adejobi quoted Odumosu as saying.
