Female Cop exudes gallantry, burst armed robbery syndicate in a swoop operation at Otedola bridge
By Naomisophyblog
The Divisional Police Officer, Alausa Division, CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda, has demonstrated outstanding bravery by leading a sting operation at night at the Otedola bridge and busting armed robbery kingpin, Tochuckwu Nonso, 29, a.k.a ThugLife.
CSP Abaniwonda displayed rare gallantry just after two months she resumed as the DPO, Alausa Division.
The incessant incidences of armed robbery at the bridge had been a challenge for commuters and passersby over a period and she decided to end such within the Alausa, Ikeja axis.
CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda knew the risks involved but the desire to serve humanity and save lives moved her into action. She was said to have mobilized her Police officers and hired a 14-seater commercial bus, which they used. They moved to the bridge around 10pm in an undercover mission to end incidences of armed robbery under the bridge.
During the operation, CSP Abaniwonda sustained injuries but she did not relent as she mobilized her officers and further gathered intelligence, which eventually led to the arrest of the robbery kingpin, Thuglife, alongside two other members of the gang, Chidera Christopher, 25, and Richard Etim, 25.
The operation was led by Supol Alawode Adekunle and Thuglife was arrested in a bar, where he was doing medicure opposite the popular hotel, known as Super G, in Lambe area of Ogun State, where he usually lodges with the girlfriend after their robbery operations.
The three suspects, Thuglife, Christopher and Etim, were arrested and detained at the Alausa Division, where they are undergoing interrogation over their criminal activities under the Otedola bridge over the years.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the suspects by operatives from the Alausa Division led by CSP Abaniwonda. The suspects have made confessional statements.
The last sting operation was not the first time CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda had displayed such bravery and capacity as an intelligent senior Police Officer. Over the years, she had served as DPO in various Divisions and Commands in Lagos State and had demonstrated that she has capacity with less supervision. She may have ended the incidences of armed robbery operations under the Otedola bridge in Lagos State.

CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda perfectly fit into the words of the great philosopher, Sidney Sheldon, who said, “My heroes are those who risk their lives everyday to protect our world and make it better – Police, Firefighters and members of Armed Forces”.
