The Lagos State Police Command has brought charges against two individuals, Jamiu Olalekan (31) and Oni Adeola (27), who are alleged to be involved in 'one-chance' armed robbery activities in the Abule-Egba area and its surroundings.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the state Police Public Relations Officer, announced this development in a statement posted on his X account on Saturday. Earlier, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority operatives had reported the arrest of three suspected 'one-chance' armed robbers, with one managing to escape, near Jubilee Bridge in the Abule-Egba area of Lagos on January 4.

The suspects, along with their operational vehicle, a 'T4' commercial bus with the number plate APP 406 YE, were apprehended at the U-turn area of Abule-Egba. Initial investigations revealed that they were notorious for their involvement in 'one-chance' armed robbery activities in the Abule-Egba vicinity.

Eyewitnesses observed the suspects pushing one of their victims out of their vehicle and subsequently pursued them. The two suspects were then handed over to the police at the Ile-Epo Division for further investigation.

Hundeyin later provided an update on Saturday, sharing a photo of the suspects and stating, "Following the conclusion of investigations, the suspects, Jamiu Olalekan aged 31 and Oni Adeola aged 27, have been arraigned, while their operational vehicle remains impounded."
