The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana in an earlier statement said that a truck, with Registration Number JIGAWA HJA-680-XA, conveying the male passengers and motorcycles was on Friday, intercepted and searched.
He said that the vehicle and passengers were searched but nothing incriminating was found.
āThey were profiled with a view to ascertaining who they were, where they come from, their background and their mission in Lagos.
āThey all came from Jigawa State, North West Region of Nigeria and are mostly artisans, commercial motorcyclists and traders.
āSome of them are already based in Lagos with their families while others are coming for the first time. They are in the state in pursuit of greener pasture,ā Elkana said.
