CITIZENS COMPASS– OPERATIVES of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on have arrested an ex-convict hours after he was released from prison.
The suspect, Yakub Yusuf aged 23 was arrested at about 0800hrs on Saturday, November 12, 2022.
The ex-convict was said to be arrested after regaining freedom following his one-month imprisonment for stealing at Lagos State fuel dump, Alausa, Ikeja.
