The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on X on Sunday, stating that operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, conducted a midnight operation along the Lekki-Ajah expressway.

The commissioner said the state would continue to deploy intelligence-driven strategies to tackle criminal activities capable of undermining public
