The Ogun State Police Command has issued a security alert to the public about a notorious one-chance robbery gang operating along the Sagamu, Ijebu Ode to Mowe expressway.

Odutola revealed that the police have received numerous complaints from residents concerning the gang’s activities, with a recent incident involving a victim who was robbed of ₦700,000 at gunpoint. 

The victim had boarded a vehicle from Kajola on Wednesday when the robbers struck.

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,” Odutola stated.

In response to these escalating incidents, the police have urged traders and business owners to avoid travelling with large sums of money.
