    As part of efforts to rid Lagos streets of drugs and other psychotropic substances, the Lagos State Taskforce has raided several notorious blackspots known for drug peddling, hooliganism, miscreants and street trading.

    The Night Raid Operation was carried out around Aminkanle Market, NerdC Street by African Shrine in the Agidigbi area of Ikeja which allegedly had been converted into a trading pavilion for hard drug markets, restaurants, beer parlour on the roadside causing serious human and vehicular traffic and environmental nuisance.

    The Chairman of the Agency, Adetayo Akerele, explained that the raids which will be a continuous exercise are a step made in the interest of the public who have longed for solutions to the menace which also encourages criminality in the area.

    In a statement, he said, “The activities of these suspected criminals at Aminkanle area of Agbado, Jobi fele Road by African. Shrine and NerdC street, especially at night is dangerous to humanity at all levels.

    “They sell drugs indiscriminately there which is counter-productive to society and they also contribute immensely to traffic build-up on adjoining roads at night when workers who have spent all day at work still have to spend hours to get home. It is unfair to residents of this area and we will ensure that it is completely stamped out.”

    Akerele reiterated the stand of the Lagos State Government and the State Commissioner of Police Mr. Fayoade Adegoke who assured that all hands must be on deck to ensure that all notorious black spots known for high-level criminalities in the state become a thing of the past.

    He said a total of 124 suspects were arrested, adding that those with genuine business were allowed to go while others will be charged in court.
