Lagos Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab has called on celebrities, influencers, and the public to cease financially supporting street urchins, stating that such encouragement undermines government efforts.

Operatives of the Lagos State Task Force have arrested five suspected street urchins, known as 'Omotaku,' for allegedly extorting money from motorists along the Aboru–Abule-Egba axis.

The Lagos State Taskforce has launched a new anti-crime patrol unit aimed at combating drug peddling, street urchins, and other criminal activities within the state.

Suspected miscreants and street urchins attacked the Lagos State Taskforce at the Fagba Railway Corridor, setting parts of the railway on fire to resist arrest.
