Lagos police arrest three suspected one-chance robbers

In Nigeria, 'one chance' denotes a robbery scenario where criminals posing as commercial drivers lure unsuspecting passengers with the intention of robbing them

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.
