 RE: MISLEADING CLAIMS REGARDING EXTORTION OF MOTORISTS BY LAGOS STATE TASKFORCE – YET-TO-BE-IDENTIFIED SECURITY OPERATIVES: ANOTHER CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY The Lagos State Taskforce wishes to address a misleading narrative circulating on social media, particularly in a viral video shared by protesters and concerned groups who recently demonstrated at the Lagos State House of Assembly. The protest was in response to the alleged extortion of motorists by security operatives, yet to be identified, who are not officials of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit. We categorically state that the Lagos State Taskforce had no involvement in the said incident.

S. A: 72-YEAR-OLD LANDLORD SHOT AND KILLED HIS TENANT ON SUNDAY. (PHOTO).


 Hartbeespoortdam police and Brits Crime Intelligence acted swiftly to arrest a 72-year-old landlord following an incident wherein he allegedly shot and killed his tenant on Sunday, 22 September 2024, at a plot outside Hartbeespoortdam near Brits.


According to the reports, the 66-year-old tenant approached his landlord when he discovered that there was no electricity and water at his place. Following an argument that ensued between the two, the landlord went inside his house and came back with a firearm and allegedly shot the victim on his upper-body.


The suspect fled from the scene while the victim was transported to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. The suspect was arrested during an intelligence driven operation conducted around the Skeerport area.   The police also recovered a firearm, which will be subjected to ballistic tests. 


The suspect is expected to appear in the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 25 September 2024, for murder.  


Meanwhile, the Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, congratulated the team members for their concerted effort to ensure the arrest of the suspect.
