Wasiu Akinwande was arrested in his hideout in the Agbado area of Ogun State after several attempts by the Police Tactical Squad.

For over a decade now from 2009 until 2024, Wasiu Akinwande and his gangs have terrorized the people and communities, particularly in the Mushin area of Lagos State.

He was responsible for organizing and executing series of armed robberies, cold blooded murders, kidnappings and cult-related killings. His reign of terror instilled fear and apprehension in residents and posed a dangerous threat to law and order.

Akinwande’s criminal activities have left trauma, horror, agony and pains in the families of victims of his numerous high-profile crimes under investigation by the Lagos State Police Command. Despite his escapes from one state of the country to another over the years, the Lagos State Police Command remained resolute in its pursuit of Justice.

The operatives of the Command raided his house in Mushin, and recovered cache of weapons and incriminating items.

The Kaduna State Police Command has revealed the identity of the man who caused panic after charging towards President Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state.

As President Tinubu was addressing the audience, Mohammed suddenly broke through the crowd and rushed toward him, triggering a swift response from security operatives.

The moment left Tinubu visibly shocked, as seen in a widely shared video showing his startled reaction and the confusion among his security team.

Police later disclosed that the man has a mental health condition he has lived with since birth.

They described his actions as unplanned and driven by excitement, adding that he was unarmed and posed no real threat after being restrained.

Despite the scare, the event continued as planned.

Governor Uba Sani led the inauguration of the hospital, which is expected to boost healthcare access in Kaduna.
