Tuesday, September 29, 2026 - The Lagos State
Police Command has arrested a 29-year-old man in connection with the robbery of
a clubber outside the Ghost and Spirit Lounge on Ekoro Road, in the Abule-Egba
area of the state.
The command also said efforts were ongoing to arrest other
members of the gang allegedly involved in the robbery.
According to Punch, the incident occurred around 5am on
Saturday, September 26, 2026.
A CCTV footage of the incident, which has gone viral on
social media, showed a group of men standing around parked vehicles when a man
dressed in a yellow polo approached one of them.
Shortly afterwards, a grey Mercedes-Benz GLK SUV pulled up
on the opposite side of the road. A man reportedly emerged from the vehicle and
fired what appeared to be gunshots.
The footage showed the man who had earlier been approached
being dispossessed of an item, while three people subsequently entered the SUV
and drove away.
The video generated reactions on social media, with users
describing the incident as a robbery.
Confirming the incident on Monday, the Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Fatai Tijani, said one suspect had been arrested and
identified the victim’s stolen property as a gold wrist chain and rings.
Tijani, who spoke during a press briefing at the command
headquarters in Ikeja, said the suspect was arrested at the Lagos-Ogun
boundary.
He said, “On 26/09/2026 at about 0500hrs, information was
received that some armed men, reportedly armed with an AK-47 rifle, drove into
Ghost and Spirit Lounge, Ekoro Road, Abule-Egba, in a grey Mercedes-Benz GLK
SUV and robbed a male individual of his gold wrist chain and rings.
“Investigation subsequently led to the arrest of Ezekiel
Sunday Obi, male, 29 years, at about 0100hrs on 27/09/2026 at the Toll Gate,
Lagos-Ogun boundary.”
The CP said the police were intensifying efforts to arrest
the other fleeing suspects and recover the exhibits.
“Efforts are ongoing to arrest other members of the gang and
recover the exhibits,” he said.
