Four Suspects Arrested for Attack on Lagos BRT Bus

The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Enforcement Agency Task Force has apprehended four suspects in connection with the August 13 attack on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle.
During a press briefing held in Lagos on Wednesday, the Chairman of the Task Force, CSP Tayo Akerele, provided details of the incident.
He explained that the bus was en route from Orile-Iganmu to Alaba Suru when it was violently attacked by a group of individuals. The suspects have been identified as Ilesanmi Kazeem, Ibrahim Lawal, Daniel Abati, and Mohammed Ali.
The attack, which targeted a BRT bus with the identification number 240216, occurred as the vehicle travelled from the Mile 2 Terminal to Lagos Island.
The assailants reportedly stopped the bus near Alaba Suru, where they robbed the passengers of their belongings and caused significant damage to the vehicle.
Akerele emphasized the government’s unwavering stance against acts of violence and vandalism.
He further stated that prosecuting the culprits would serve as a warning to others inclined to commit similar crimes.
“These miscreants have a history of engaging in such destructive acts,” Akerele said. “We are determined to bring them to justice, which we are in the process of doing.”
In addition to Akerele’s remarks, ACP Emmanuel Oyewole, who oversees operations in the Lagos State Command, revealed that the suspects were arrested during a raid conducted by task force personnel in the area where the attack occurred.
Oyewole expressed his disappointment over the brazen daylight assault, in which the bus passengers were not only robbed but also injured. He reassured the public that the Lagos State Government is committed to ensuring such incidents are not tolerated.
“Four suspects have been arrested so far, including 30-year-old Mohammed Ali, who was apprehended and subsequently named the other three individuals involved in the attack. However, some suspects remain at large,” Oyewole stated.
He condemned the daytime nature of the crime, describing it as a highly reprehensible act. He assured that upon completion of the investigation, the suspects would be charged in court and face the full force of the law.
The Lagos State Government continues to crack down on criminal activities and ensure the safety of commuters, particularly those using state-regulated transport systems like the BRT.
Authorities are working diligently to apprehend any remaining suspects and prevent future occurrences of such attacks.

“No Other Candidate Brings What I Bring to the Table” – Peter Obi Says

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has declared that democracy no longer exists in Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Obi pointed to the recent Edo State governorship election and the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State as clear signs that democratic principles have collapsed.
Obi condemned President Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers over tensions between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The President’s move included suspending the governor, his deputy, and the entire State Assembly for six months, replacing them with a Sole Administrator.
Obi criticized the decision, arguing that no one should govern without a mandate from the people. “There is no democracy in Nigeria today,” he said. When asked why he plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, Obi said the fight for real democracy must continue. “Look at the Edo election — does that look like democracy? Rivers State buried the whole idea,” he said.
“You can’t fix problems by breaking the rules,” Obi added. “I’m still committed to building a better Nigeria. I have the background, the experience, and I’ve served in both the corporate world and as a governor. No other candidate brings what I bring to the table.”
