morning, foiled an UBER taxi
hijack by 3 armed robbers
with the arrest of one suspect.

going to pick a lady friend.
According to Adebisi, "two of
them came down from the
vehicle and some minutes
later they were back saying
that the female friend was
not going to join them and that he should keep driving to Oshodi -
Oke. When I was about to climb
the Oshodi - Oke Bridge, one
of them grabbed me from the
back seat, another closed my
mouth with his hand. A gun
was pointed at my head and they were shouting that I
should come down and come
to the back seat.
Immediately I unbuckled the
seat belt and opened the
door, I saw some RRS
policemen at the front. I
screamed robbers! robbers!
and ran towards them. They immediately swung to action
and apprehended one but
two escaped." . The victim claimed his and a
sum of eighty thousand naira
were missing by the time he
was composed. Recovered
from Ugbomah, were charms,
master key and a pistol shaped device.
