The Ogun State Police Command has alerted members of the public of a notorious one-chance gang operating within Sagamu, Ijebu Ode and Mowe Expressway parts of the state.
Omolola Odutola, the command’s spokesperson, gave the advisory in a statement obtained by PREMIUM TIMES.
She said the command had received numerous complaints from residents, one of which involved a victim who was robbed of N700,000 at gunpoint after getting into a car at Kajola on Wednesday.
The spokesperson, while warning traders and business owners not to risk travelling with huge cash, advised commuters to record and send a video to the police media if they are unsure about a boarded vehicle.
