The area is fast becoming a BLACKSPOT where various criminal activities takes place, there have been reports of similar cases in the past. This is the reason why the Nigeria police should do something drastic.
Most of the activities carried out by these hoodlums in related spots are similar. Although, they may not be violent in their conduct, they quietly dispossess their victims of their belongings without passers-by noticing.
On some occasions, most of these notorious gangs are armed, and they use such to threaten motorists along any of these routes. Aside collecting money, the items of their target include laptops, expensive phones, ATM cards and other valuables.
#AGEGETV learnt that they usually assemble in this place @ nights waiting and standing in groups of four or five, carefully monitoring vehicular movement to enable them hit their target especially when there is a hold up, their targets are mostly vehicles held in traffic
These traffic robbers, we gathered, don’t vacate the spots until around 2 a.m. Another victim who spoke to #AGEGETV under the condition of anonymity narrated his ordeal in the hands of the criminally-minded gang. He added that he only enjoyed God’s grace to escape unhurt.
“I was driving home around 11:30pm that fateful night I had to cooperate with them when i was approached by these criminal elements even @ Gun point, they succeeded in collecting my phones, laptop and ATM card. No motorist or passer-by raised any alarm. But I was lucky I wasn’t shot. I believe I only enjoyed the grace of God. If not, the story would have been otherwise. I thank God for saving me that day. Since that day, I always made sure I close early from work.
We are using this medium to call on the security operatives to provide adequate security at this spot, so as to ensure safety of lives and properties of road users and others in this area.
