Vandals storm Lagos RRS HQ, steal commander’s vehicle brain box

Suspected vandals have allegedly infiltrated the headquarters of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS), a unit of the Lagos State Police Command, stealing the brain box of the RRS Commander’s official vehicle.

The incident occurred overnight on Sunday, December 15, when the Toyota Hilux belonging to CSP Shola Jejeloye, the RRS Commander, was targeted.

The vandals shattered the vehicle’s windscreen and made off with the brain box and other valuable components, while stationed officers were reportedly on duty.

The theft at the Lagos RRS headquarters, a crime-fighting unit, has sparked embarrassment and outrage, with many questioning how such a brazen act could occur in a high-security environment.

Security experts and insiders have expressed concern, with speculation rife that the incident may involve insider complicity.

Observers have also criticised the RRS, calling for a reassessment of its internal security protocols to prevent future breaches.

Many have questioned their safety regarding security matters, asking how the RRS can assure the safety of Lagosians elsewhere if it cannot secure its commander’s vehicle within its headquarters.

Authorities are yet to issue a detailed statement on the incident, but pressure is mounting for answers as the RRS works to restore public confidence.
