Lagos Police Arrest Robbers Targeting Sex Workers
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a gang of robbers accused of targeting and robbing three commercial sex workers on Adeniran Ogunsanya Street in Surulere. According to police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, the two suspects were detained on August 28, 2024, for the robbery that occurred on August 23, 2024.
The suspects had initially sought the services of the victims but then stopped their vehicle midway and stole valuables, including two iPhones worth N1.5 million, a Redmi Note 12 valued at N140,000, and an iPhone XR. They also coerced the victims into transferring N33,000 to a specified account.
Hundeyin reported that the victims were able to identify the suspects, leading to their arrest. The police have recovered one of the stolen phones, a Toyota Camry, and two blank plates used by the robbers. The incident highlights a recurring problem in Lagos and Ogun States, where robbers frequently target sex workers. Similar crimes were reported in 2018, where a gang was caught stealing from sex workers and selling the stolen items to others in Lagos.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
