By Olayiwola Ibrahim// The Lagos State Police Command has brought charges against two individuals, Jamiu Olalekan 31 and Oni Adeola 27, who are accused of being involved in one-chance armed robbery activities in the Abule-Egba area and its surroundings.

The Police Public Relations Officer for the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this development in a statement posted on his Twitter Account on Saturday.

Earlier, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority operatives reported the apprehension of three alleged one-chance armed robbers on January 4 near Jubilee Bridge in the Abule-Egba area, with one suspect managing to escape.

The suspects, along with their operational vehicle, a T4 commercial bus with the number plate APP 406 YE, were captured at the U-turn area of Abule-Egba.

Initial investigations identified them as notorious one-chance armed robbers known for their criminal activities around Abule-Egba. Witnesses pursued them after observing them ejecting one of their victims from their vehicle.

The two arrested suspects were subsequently handed over to the Ile-Epo Division police for further investigation.

Providing an update on Saturday, Hundeyin shared a photo of the suspects and stated, 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.
