The police in Lagos have arrested one 23 years old Fatai Ismail, popularly known as ‘Small’, for armed robbery.
The police described him as a notorious armed robber who had been terrorising residents of Langbasa area of Ajah in Lago State.
The police spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, said ‘Small’ was arrested by the police, with the help of some community members, when he went to attack a supermarket at Folarin Bus Stop, Ajah area, on November 29, 2020.
