Plot to bomb third mainland bridge in lagos foiled as bomber arrested
I'm glad to hear that a plot to bomb the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos has been foiled and the bomber arrested!
According to reports, the suspect, a 35-year-old man, was arrested by the police on Tuesday evening after a tip-off from an anonymous source. The suspect, who has been identified as one Abiodun Oladapo, allegedly planned to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) on the bridge, which is one of the busiest and most iconic landmarks in Lagos.
The police said that Oladapo, who is a resident of the state, had been under surveillance for some time and was found to have been in possession of a large quantity of explosives and other incriminating materials.
The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Hakeem Odumosu, commended the police team that arrested the suspect, saying that the arrest was a major success in the fight against terrorism and other forms of criminality in the state.
The Third Mainland Bridge is a critical infrastructure in Lagos, connecting the mainland to the island and serving as a major transportation artery for the city. Its safety and security are of utmost importance, and the authorities are to be commended for their swift action in foiling this plot.
It's heartening to know that the authorities are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of citizens, and that the public can rest assured that the police are working tirelessly to prevent and investigate crimes.
