#breakingnewstoday ARREST OF LAGOS’ MOST WANTED KILLER, OLUWASEUN AKINWADE A.K.A. “OLORI ESO”, AND MASSIVE WEAPONS RECOVERY — LAGOS POLICE COMMAND PRAISED FOR GALLANT OPERATION In a landmark operation that will go down in the annals of security breakthroughs in Lagos State, the Lagos State Police Command has recorded a major victory in the fight against violent crime. On Friday, June 20, 2025, a Tactical Squad of the Command, in a highly strategic and intelligence-led raid code-named Silence, Speed, and Surprise, successfully arrested the most wanted and vicious criminal kingpin in recent Lagos history — Wasiu Akinwande, also known as Olori Eso. The 44-year-old notorious gang leader and hired assassin, who has been a long-standing menace particularly in the Mushin area, was finally apprehended at his hideout in Agbado, Ogun State, following several months of coordinated surveillance, intelligence gathering, and tactical planning by the Command’s elite operatives. For over a decade, Akinwande and his syndicates orchestrated untold violence — ranging from armed robbery to multiple assassinations, cult-related murders, kidnappings, and other heinous crimes that spread fear across communities and left countless families devastated. His criminal empire extended across state lines, but the relentless pursuit of justice by the Lagos State Police Command has now brought his reign of terror to an end. During the operation, a massive cache of weapons and incriminating items were recovered from his Mushin base, confirming his role as the kingpin of multiple armed operations. Items recovered include: Two (2) AK-47 Rifles One (1) K2 Assault Rifle One (1) Red Ryder Rifle Three (3) Pump Action Rifles Two (2) Locally Made Single-Barrel Pistols Five (5) Magazines Fifty-seven (57) Live Cartridges Seventy (70) 5.56mm Live Ammunition Twenty-seven (27) 9mm Ammunition One (1) Expended 5.56 Ammunition One (1) Dagger Three (3) Walkie-Talkies Nine (9) International Passports belo
