Police in Lagos are searching for one Adedapo Ewenla said to be the ring leader of a inferno that destroyed properties worth millions of naira in the area.
A statement released by the police command spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, said four suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident.
Oti said, during interrogation, the four suspects gave a vivid account of how the fire that emanated from a vandalised petroleum pipe, engulfed a fraction of Abule-Egba community and escalated to parts of Agege area, destroying properties worth millions of naira. They also mentioned one ‘Hon (Amb) Prince Adedipo Dauda Ewenla’ as their ring leader.
Based on this, the command extended invitation to him at his last known address but found out that he has fled to Ogun state in order to evade arrest.
Ewenla has been advised to come out of hiding and report himself to Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja or to the nearest police station in the state to defend the allegation against him.
