The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operation, Tunde Sobulo, on Monday said armed robbers had been using Lagos and Edo states as their operation-base in the south-west.
He, however, explained that the police had curtailed their activities, since noticing it, by ensuring a comprehensive check on movement through border towns.
Sobulo disclosed this while speaking to journalists on the activities of criminals in Lagos State in recent times.
During the briefing, he also debunked reports that the Divisional Police Officers of Pen Cinema, Femi Fabumi, who allegedly killed one Demola Abiodun during the fuel subsidy removal protest, had been
set free.
Sobulo said Fabunmi was still in detention at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, because the matter is before the Police Service Commission.
Speaking on the recent clashes between factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), he said one of the faction leaders had already been arrested and charged to court.
The DCP, however, said that nobody was reported killed or injured at any police station.
“We are not spirits and cannot do anything unless we are aware. If u say anybody was killed go and report it to a police station as a good citizen,” Sobulo said.
He added that peace had since been restored to the area affected by the clashes.
