The Lagos State Police Command has arraigned two ‘one chance’ armed robbers, Jamiu Olalekan and Oni Adeola.
The Police Public Relations Officer for the Command, Benjamin Hundenyin gave this information on Saturday via his X handle.
He says “Following conclusion of investigations, the suspects, Jamiu Olalekan aged 31 and Oni Adeola aged 27, have been arraigned while their operational vehicle remains impounded.
The suspects were nabbed earlier by operatives of the Lagos State Transport Management agency. A press statement had afterwards been issued by the Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA Mr. Adebayo Taofiq.
He confirmed that they were arrested by LASTMA personnel along with their operational vehicle painted ‘T4’ commercial bus (APP 406 YE) at the U-turn area of Abule-Egba.
He said immediately they were arrested, one of them escaped with a P.O.S machine before the arrival of policemen.
According to him, preliminary investigations revealed that they were notorious ‘one-chance’ armed robbers terrorising the entire Abule-Egba and its environs.
He said investigations further revealed that they were being chased by members of the public after they noticed that a man was pushed down from their vehicle after robbing him of his valuables.
“They drove recklessly in order to evade arrest before they were eventually caught by LASTMA officials controlling and managing traffic around the Abule-Egba axis. The two suspects were later handed over to the policemen from Ile-Epo Police Division for further investigation,” he said.
