Leadership reports that seven people suspected to have been involved in the recent shooting of five youths in Ajah area of Lagos state, have been arrested by the police.
One of the suspects identified as Kazeem Olokodana, who was arrested with six others have been taken in by police for interrogation despite threats from their fellow cultists to cause chaos in the state if they are not released swiftly.
It was also learnt that the police have begun investigation and surveillance on the situation and have arrested many more youths, who had a hand in the melee that caused the deaths of the five people.
To press further with their investigations, police are searching for leader of the national union of road transport workers, Oyebanji branch, Lagos Island, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle, aka Seego, who is on the run.
