According to Hundeyin, while the suspect was being interrogated by the Commander Lagos Rapid Response Squad, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, the suspect, Alobo, could not give satisfactory answers to prove that he was a serving member of the Force.
"Preliminary investigations revealed that he was dismissed from the Force in 2020 for desertion. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that since his dismissal, he had been in the criminal act of escorting cars and trucks conveying goods to any part of Lagos for a fee.
