Policemen in Lagos State have arrested one Ibrahim Abdullahi, popularly known as Tiny, and four other persons at Ijegun Egba area of the state.

Abdullahi is reported to be a serial killer.

His arrest at his hideout was announced by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Abdullahi was said to have been arrested in an operation led by the Divisional Police Officer of Satellite-Town Division, CSP Chike Oti.

The operation followed the directive by Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Zubairu Muazu, that the state should be rid of criminals and members of unlawful societies.

“Based on this directive and credible intelligence received about Ibrahim Abdullahi aka Tiny, who had been on the run since he was linked to the murder of three residents of the community, Satelite division, swung into action.

“The said Tiny was arrested alongside one of his accomplices, Obinna Kelvin Okey, 23.

“During a preliminary interrogation, they confessed to belonging to a cult group called the Aro-Bagger a.k.a. Vickings.

“Other cultists arrested during the operation include: Ismaila Adebayo; 21, Bode Akodo; 21 and Abdulwahab; 25, all of Eiye Confraternity.

“CP Zubairu Muazu directed the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, to take over the case involving the said Ibrahim Abdullahi which has to do with an ongoing investigation on the three murder incidents linked to him.

“The other suspects were transferred to the Command’s Anti Cultism Squad for further investigation,” the statement reads in part.
