A three-person “one-chance” gang that had been terrorizing commuters in Lagos state’s Oshodi-Gbagada corridor has been apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command.

The suspects, identified as Wale Ajayi, 24, Abideen Saka, 26, and Oliseh Sunday alias Bobwhiskey, 29, were apprehended by members of the Rapid Response Squad at their hiding place a few weeks after they fled the scene of their operation while still driving their operational vehicle after being apprehended by police officers.

In a statement on Twitter on Tuesday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the operational vehicle of the gang was seized at gunpoint sometime in February but later abandoned by the gang somewhere around the Gbagada axis of Lagos State.

He claims that the suspects have been charged and detained pending trial.

The statement reads: “Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad have arrested three suspects, all members of a one-chance gang, operating along Oshodi–Gbagada Expressway, Lagos.

“The suspects had abandoned their operational vehicle, a Suzuki mini bus popularly called ‘korope’ at Gbagada area of Oshodi-Oke along Gbagada–Oshodi Expressway, on April 14, 2023 when RRS operatives accosted them while trying to drop off a victim.

“Investigation revealed that the suspects had earlier hijacked the operational vehicle at gunpoint at Ketu bus stop, Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Ojo sometime in February and the incident was reported at Ijanikin Police Divisional Headquarters.

“The suspects, Wale Ajayi ‘m’ aged 24, Abideen Saka ‘m’ aged 26 and Oliseh Sunday aka Bobwhiskey ‘m’ aged 29, who were later arrested at their hideout following weeks of intensive investigation have since been arraigned and remanded.”
