“Sanwo-Olu reiterated his stance that Lagos would be no hiding place to criminal acts.

“Governor Sanwo-Olu stated after his security personnel arrested the three machete-wielding criminals that the exercise was a warning signal to other criminal elements and prospective traffic robbers in Lagos that there is no hiding place for criminality in Lagos State.”
