The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, on Friday said that the “One Million Boys” group terrorising some parts of the state had been subdued. Owoseni made the assertion when he addressed newsmen on the command’s activities in Ikeja.

He said different police teams, including the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, had been deployed to Morogbo area near Badagry. He said: “I use this medium to tell Lagosians, particularly Morogbo area of Badagry, that the police have dealt with the one million boys.


“The case was over exaggerated by some people. The one million boys are not people we should worry about. There are no robbery incidents involving them.

“The Area Commander, Divisional Police and Special Anti-Robbery Squad are currently monitoring situation in the area. There is peace there now.

Owoseni also unveiled the new outfit for SARS operatives in Lagos, noting that it would check impersonation and illegal operations.

Owoseni said the outfit was first unveiled by the Inspector-general of Police, Solomon Arase, who stressed that each state command had its identity number and SARS boldly printed on the black T-shirt and black jacket.

Meanwhile, the commissioner said the police killed alongside with his friend in Agege area of the state during the yuletide was on a personal mission when the incident happened.

Owoseni said he was not killed as SARS operative, rather by unknown gunmen while with his friend.

He, however, said the command was investigating the killings.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that a police Sergeant attached to SARS, Ikeja was killed in his car in Agege area on December 27.

NAN further reports that his pistol, service rifle and other documents were intact when his dead body was removed by policemen from Erele Division.
