The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a post on X.com on Thursday.
His caption read, “Worried by occasional reports of harassment by miscreants at Orile environs, especially at the bad portions of the Badagry Expressway, DPO Orile Division commenced regular patrols of the affected areas.
“In addition, the tactical team covering the area investigated to ascertain where the miscreants emerge from and retire to. It was discovered that some of these miscreants have operational rooms in shanties just close to the road.”
