THREE ‘ONE-CHANCE’ ROBBERY SUSPECTS NABBED IN LAGOS
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three men suspected to be members of a ‘one-chance’ robbery gang in the state.
This was contained in a statement shared on the official X handle of the command, @LagosPoliceNG, on Saturday.
‘One chance’ is commonly used in Nigeria to refer to a type of robbery incident that takes place when criminals disguised as commercial drivers pick up unsuspecting passengers and rob them of their valuables.
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.”
On Monday, the police also arrested a man identified as Ndubisi George, aged 49, who was said to be the leader of a ‘one-chance’ robbery syndicate that operated within Itire, Aguda, Cele, and Surulere.
Similarly, in January, officials 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.
