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.
The command's spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, issued the alert on Thursday, August 15, in a statement shared on her X handle.
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.

"Commuters on that axis, make a video of your next trip and upload it to police media when in doubt of the vehicle," she suggested.
