A young Nigerian, whose name could not be
ascertained at the time of this report, was arrested in
the evening of Thursday, July 12, while trying to pick
the pocket of an official of the Rapid Response Squad.
The security agency said the unnamed man
would be well fed, and spend the night with its
officials before he is transferred on Friday, July
13, for possible prosecution.
“This lad just picked the pocket of an undercover RRS
officer on surveillance duty around Alausa Ikeja.
“He was caught in the act and arrested. He will be spending
the night with us and we will make sure he’s well served
food before his transfer tomorrow,” the terse statement
said.
