The Lagos State Police Command, Wednesday, arrested a suspected 19-year-old, armed robber, Ajayi Lateef.

The suspect teenager was apprehended with a dummy gun, after his gang had allegedly robbed a tricycle at Victoria Island around 1am.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, ordered that the suspect be taken to the State CID, Panti, for further investigation.
