The Police in Lagos have arrested some of its personnel including one Sergeant Victor Omorokai, who allegedly hijacked a 20 feet container at the weekend in Ogun State.

The Nation newspaper gathered that the policemen numbering four, all attached to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti-Yaba, on Saturday night blocked the container with their Sienna car.

Also arrested were three civilians, including a supposed buyer of the container laden with auto spare-parts.

The Nation also reports that they pretended to be officers on duty and flanked the heavy duty vehicle down. As soon as the driver stopped, they were said to have pointed a gun at him and his conductor, ordering them out of the trailer..
