Lagos Luxury Car Owners Breathe a Sigh of Relief as Notorious Vandal Gang Cracks Under Pressure
Last week, the Lagos State Police Command made a stunning breakthrough in combating a string of high-end car vandalism cases plaguing the state. During a press briefing on Wednesday, Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, revealed that three notorious gang members were apprehended in a daring police operation that took place on March 25, 2026, at 4:00 a.m. The suspects, 27-year-old Obinna Okeke, 38-year-old Emmanuel Anyanwu, and 31-year-old Joshua Nkemdirim, were part of a ruthless gang that had been disguising themselves as security personnel to gain access to residential estates within Lagos.
The masterminds behind the gang were using a clever ruse to infiltrate estates, posing as security operatives and flashing a fake firearm prop made from a Mercedes-Benz car jack to intimidate guards and residents. Once inside, the gang would target luxury vehicles, particularly Toyota models such as Hilux and Highlander, Lexus 650 Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, and other high-end SUVs. Their modus operandi involved removing valuable components, including brain boxes, wiring systems, side mirrors, control devices, glass fittings, and other pricey parts.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Lagos State Police Command, the suspects have been caught red-handed and are now cooperating with detectives in ongoing investigations. During
