The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) has arrested six men for allegedly levying illegal tolls on commercial buses.
They were allegedly found with scores of unsold tickets at Ojodu-Berger by a team led by RRS Commander, Olatunji Disu, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
Their arrest followed series of complaints by motorists, that commercial drivers were increasing their fares to offset the cost of the hoodlum’s extortion.
It was gathered that the hoodlums had since May, laid siege to the Expressway, forcing commercial vehicles to purchase tickets at the transit park constructed by the state government.
Following the complaints, RRS officers went undercover and caught the suspects in the act.
The RRS, it was gathered, has also beefed up security at strategic locations across the state, especially Iddo Terminus, to stem cases of robbery.
It was gathered that more policemen have been deployed to Oyingbo, Idumota and Ebute Metta to contain cases of bag snatching and traffic robbery.
