Police arrest four over Lagos pipeline explosion

The police in Lagos have arrested four suspects in connection to the December 19 pipeline explosion at Abule Egba and Agege.

This was contained in a statement released on Thursday evening by the command’s spokesman Chike Oti, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP).

According to Oti, the suspects gave vivid account on how the fire started, adding that they mentioned one Prince Adedipo Dauda Ewenla as their ringleader.

“Based on this, the command extended invitation to him at his last known address but found out that he has fled to Ogun State in order to evade arrest.

“He is hereby advised to come out of hiding and report himself to Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja or to the nearest police station in the state to defend the allegation against him,” said Oti.
