LAGOS — The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 21-year-old man, Samson Onilewaji, after he was allegedly found in possession of a suspected severed human hand, firearms, and stolen items during a stop-and-search operation along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
According to the command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the suspect was intercepted while travelling in an unregistered commercial shuttle bus carrying six occupants.
