- Earlier in January, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority arrested a three-man ‘one chance’ gang at Jubilee Bridge in the Abule-Egba area of the state
The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended three individuals believed to be part of a one-chance robbery gang, as revealed in a statement posted on the command’s X handle on Saturday.
In Nigeria, ‘one chance’ denotes a robbery scenario where criminals posing as commercial drivers lure unsuspecting passengers with the intention of robbing them.
The statement read, “Operatives of #LagosPoliceNG, responding to a distress call about a one-chance incident, embarked on a rescue operation and rescued one Abisola Taiwo ‘f’.
“The operatives also arrested other members of the gang: Mayowa Akinjide ‘m’ aged 44, Aghama Ikponmwen ‘m’ aged 46, and Ahmed Jaleola ‘m.’ Investigation is ongoing.”
Operatives of the command had on Monday arrested a suspected one-chance robbery leader, Ndubisi George, aged 49 operating within Itire, Aguda, Cele, and Surulere.
Earlier in January, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority arrested a three-man ‘one chance’ gang at Jubilee Bridge in the Abule-Egba area of the state.
The gang members were arrested while they were being chased by members of the public after they noticed that a man was pushed down from their vehicle after robbing him of his valuables.
