One-chance crime resurfacing in Oworo, Alapere, Ogudu, Ketu: Police
The Lagos state police command has decried the resurfacing of ‘one-chance’ robberies in some parts of the state.
The command’s public relations officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on his official X handle on Monday, revealing that the menace has resurfaced in areas such as Oworo, Alapere, Ogudu and Ketu.
Stating that the command will conduct checks on vehicles in those areas to curb the resurgence of the crime, the police spokesperson appealed for understanding from road users as the exercise may cause vehicular traffick.
Mr Hundeyin’s post read, “Our daily situation reports have indicated a resurfacing of one-chance robberies in Oworonshoki, Alapere, Ogudu and Ketu.
“To stem this ugly trend, @LagosPoliceNG shall be embarking on increased checks in these areas, which may result in some delays or minimal traffic buildup.
“We appeal to motorists for their understanding as this is in the interest of their safety and security,” he pleaded.
