#EndSARS: Hoodlums Looted 100 AK-47 Rifles In Lagos Police Stations – Force Committee
Inspector General of Police(IG) Committee on #EndSARS Protest Damage Assessment has said that about 100 AK-47 Rifles and 2,600 pieces of ammunition are missing as a result of attacks on police formations in Lagos State by hoodlums who hijacked protests. The committee stated that 37 police formations were attacked during the widespread violence in the state while 367 vehicles, including 10 Armoured Personnel Carrier, Saloon cars and Hilux vans was burnt. The Chairman of the 10 man committee, CP Yaro Abutu, who disclosed this on Saturday, said the team was taking the inventory of property destroyed in police facilities across the country. It was learnt that the committee is expected to submit its report to the IG, within three weeks. Abutu lamented that it was unfortunate the destruction happened towards the end of the year “when there is a surge in criminality all over the country.”
The committee chairman urged hoodlums in possession of the arms and ammunition to return them to the nearest police station or community leaders, noting that three firearms were returned to some police formations on Friday.
