A 45-year-old man identified as Okoro, and one 42-year-old, Patience, have been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command over their alleged involvement in ‘one chance’ robbery in the state.
They were reportedly nabbed at about 6:00 am on Saturday, February 17. It was gathered that they pose as commercial bus drivers while abducting unsuspecting passengers to different locations to defraud them of their properties.
They were arrested based on reliable information that they had gotten from the public. One of the victims was able to identify one of them, stating that they had taken N37,000 from her two weeks ago.
A source told Punch;
“Some suspected thieves are always parking around the Olososun Ojota area in the pretense of taking passengers to their destination but instead take them to an unknown destination and steal from them.
“The incident happened around 6 am, and one Patient, aged 42, and one Okoro, aged 45, were arrested based on the credible information received from the public. One of the victims was able to recognise them, and she said they stole about 37,000 from them.”
Lagos police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed their arrest saying “the incident has been reported. The suspect will be arraigned at the conclusion of the investigation.”
