Subsequently, law enforcement officers intervened and re-apprehended both the suspect and his accomplice. Earlier reports suggest that Razak and his associates had previously been implicated in the unauthorized destruction of a developer’s property, carried out without obtaining a court order. One of the suspects had already been taken into police custody in relation to this incident.
Upon getting wind of his friend’s arrest, Razak reportedly took matters into his own hands, attempting to free his associate from detainment. This bold endeavor resulted in the police firing warning shots to prevent further disruptions.
