A driver, Abiodun Makinde, who the police said is “a member of ‘one chance’ robbery syndicate, terrorising commuters along Sango/Owode/Idiroko road”, has been arrested.
The Ogun State Police Command said the suspect was arrested on September 13, following a distress call made by two of his victims, Gloria Edoh and Saidat Akinola, who complained that they both boarded a cab from Owode to Sango in Ogun.
But on getting to Olokopupo area of Atan Ota, two men they met in the car suddenly brought out knives and other dangerous weapons with which they forced them to surrender their belongings.
The sum of N37,000 and N480,000 was collected from each of them, as well as their Tecno phones, after which they were pushed out of the moving vehicle, consequent upon which they sustained various degrees of injuries, KHORGIST learnt from the police.
The Spokesperson of Ogun Police, Abimbola Oyeyemi said the victims “subsequently found their way to a nearby hospital for treatment. But while coming from the hospital, they sighted and identified Abiodun Makinde as one of the hoodlums who robbed them, hence they raised alarm.
