The Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Bala Elkana,  said in a press statement on Monday that the suspects were arrested after a distress call was placed to the police. “On April 22, at about 9.30a.m,  the Aguda  Police Station received a distress call that a group of youths from Ijesha and Aguda areas had engaged themselves in a free-for-all at the boundary between Ijesha and Aguda.

“Police Patrol teams from Ijesha and Aguda were promptly drafted to the scene. The teams brought the situation under control. “Glasses of three cars were shattered with stones thrown by the hoodlums on each other. “Five suspects that include: Lekan Abiose, 30,  of No.  25, Adeola St.,  ltire; Ahmed lsiaka,37, of No. 47, Animashaun  ljeshatedo and  Aro Rasaq, 28, of No. 40, Ronke St., ltire, all in Lagos State were arrested by the teams.

Elkana added, “Preliminary investigation revealed that some members of the two rival groups fought at a get together organised by one Bukky and Baba Sunday on April 21 at Ijesha area.

“There, one Ijesha youth was allegedly injured. ‘Impact of Ambode’s administration felt in virtually every part of Lagos’ “The injured youth was alleged to have mobilised his friends on a revenge mission to Aguda on Monday morning, which led to another fracas.” he said.
