LASTMA reportedly nabs two notorious ‘one chance’ robbers on Sunday

Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on Sunday arrested two notorious ‘one-chance’ robbers at Ikate, Lekki-Ajah area of Lagos.

 

The General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba disclosed that they were nabbed by the patrol team of the Agency while on duty monitoring and controlling traffic around Lekki-Ajah axis of the State.

 

According to the General Manager “our officials while on traffic patrol heard passengers with loud voice shouting thieves! thieves!! inside an unpainted T4 commercial bus (AAA 750 XX), while trying to stop the driver he drove dangerously and our men pursued them with LASTMA patrol vehicle down to Ikate where they were blocked by another pathfinder car belonging to a good Samaritan”.

 

Oreagba said while two suspects were arrested, two others escaped with the P.O.S they used to withdraw passengers’ money inside the T4 commercial bus.

 

“The two arrested suspects with the recovered unpainted T4 commercial bus were later handed over to R.R.S personnel who were on pin-down at Chisco, along Lekki- Ajah.”

 

They were later moved to Ilasan Police Station for further investigations.

 

The General Manager, however, advised Lagos residents to always ensure they board buses at designated garages and always be vigilant/keen-eyed, especially when boarding public vehicles.

 

One of the rescued passengers, Christophe Omukoro said he boarded the unpainted commercial bus from Alfa-Beach going to Ikate.

 

He disclosed that they were four with P.O.S machine collecting passengers ATM cards and withdrawing money from individual account.

 

Omukoro confirmed that passengers started shouting thieves! thieves!! thieves!!! after they had collected their phones with other valuables items from them.

 

Other rescued victims are Mr. Laffin Lawrence and Mrs. Owo Chidima. CONTINUE READING…………………………….
