How LASTMA Resued Female Victim From ‘One Chance’ In Lagos

On Tuesday, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) saved a female victim from a pair of criminals who specialize in “one-chance” robberies.

The victim was freed from the suspects’ automobile by LASTMA staff members keeping an eye on traffic outside the Pedesbytrian Church in Yaba, Lagos, according to a statement written by the organization’s director of public affairs, Adebayo Taofiq.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, was quoted in the statement as saying, “Our officers on patrol and with the help from passersby chased and apprehended a Toyota Corolla saloon car (FST 60 RJ) after a lady at the back seat was overheard shouting, “kidnappers,” right after the bridge coming from Jibowu in the direction of Yaba.

“The driver with the lady at the front seat were immediately apprehended while the woman who shouted kidnappers quickly got down and explained that immediately she joined the car from Maryland going to Apapa, a lady beside the driver collected her phone with other valuables and she shouted after noticing that they were ‘one-chance’ kidnappers robbing them of their valuables before discharging them at any location of their choice.
