Two suspects have been arrested by detectives over theft of containers in Lagos State.
Okechukwu Onyewunenyi and Chukwuma Ogwashima, who specialise in stealing empty containers at seaports in the metropolis have been apprehended.
They were arrested by the surveillance team of Maritime Police Command in Lagos at their hideout in Ijegun.
The suspects are members of a criminal group known for hijacking and stealing empty containers from importers and transporters under the guise of using them for storage of goods.
The duo and other persons now at large are known to often forge indemnity for shipping companies and thereafter sell off their empty containers.
The Maritime Police Command in Lagos led by Rhoda Olofu, has ordered further investigation into the case.
