Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have apprehended a suspected member of a four-man ‘one-chance’ (robbery) gang and recovered their operational vehicle, a Toyota Camry (1999 model).
The suspect, James Aniyah, 48, was arrested around 8:00 p.m. on Monday near MKO Abiola Garden, Ojota. He was found in the car alongside a female victim who had allegedly been abducted earlier at Allen Roundabout, Ikeja.
According to the police, the victim was lured into the gang’s vehicle under the guise of heading to Mowe-Ibafo, Ogun State. Once inside, the gang demanded her phone and other belongings.
The RRS operatives encountered the gang while they were changing a flat tyre. Upon spotting the officers, three members of the gang fled, but Aniyah was apprehended. The police also rescued the victim, who had reportedly been tortured as the gang attempted to force her to surrender her belongings. (Guardian)
