The Ogun State Police Command has issued a warning about a notorious one-chance robbery gang that has been active along the Sagamu, Ijebu Ode, and Mowe expressway.
In a statement posted on her X handle, the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, alerted the public about the gang’s operations.
She highlighted that the police have received several complaints, including one where a victim was robbed of N700,000 at gunpoint after boarding a car in Kajola on Wednesday.
Odutola advised traders and business owners against traveling with large amounts of cash and urged commuters to record videos of their journeys and send them to the police if they have concerns about a particular vehicle.
“The Ogun State Police Command has become inundated with complaints of a notorious gang operating within, Sagamu, Ijebu Ode to Mowe,” Odutola said.
“Commuters on that axis, make a video of your next trip and upload it to police media when in doubt of the vehicle.
“Please alert our traders, and business owners not to risk travelling with huge cash. Today, 700k was transferred from a victim, who joined from Kajola, and at gunpoint, they drove her into a street and made a transfer into a POS machine. The investigation is ongoing.”
