I came to Lagos last February to look for greener pastures when my husband was constantly beating me. We were married for eight years. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “I abandoned my husband and three children and came to Lagos with the intention of living under the bridge until I found a place to lay my head. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to sleep under the bridge as I met a lady in a commercial bus I boarded who had compassion on me when she saw me crying in the bus. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “She took me to the hotel where she was working as a pros-titute and introduced me into the league of pros-titutes. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “Everything was going on well until Okanlawon patronised me in the hotel...</blockquote> <div> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6589160015449763735" name="more"></a></div> <div> "The first time we spent the night together. After that night I didn’t see him again untill three weeks later. Weeks later, someone stole my N100,000 from my room in the hotel while I was asleep. While I was still lamenting the loss, the collector of our Esusu contribution disappeared with my N150,000.<br /> <br /> “As I was still grieving over the loss, Okanlawon came to the hotel to see me. He told me to accompany him to a night club. Initially I declined but after much persuasion I followed him.<br /> <br /> “Instead of going to the club, he took me to his place where we spent the night together. In the morning, he asked me to enter the front seat of his vehicle and he started picking passengers and I asked him why he was carrying passengers but he didn’t respond.<br /> <br /> “It was when he and his gang members attacked the passengers that I knew what he was into. I told him I didn’t want to take part in their operations. But he threatened to deal with me, saying nobody would know my whereabouts if I didn’t co-operate with the gang.<br /> <br /> “That was why I had a rethink and continued to participate in robbery operations. The first time I participated, I wasn’t given anything while at two other times I was given N15,000 and N10,000 respectively.”<br /> <br /> <b>Trouble for the gang</b><br /> According to Vanguard, trouble started for the gang after a victim they robbed reported the incident at the Ojo Police Division which began investigating the activities of the gang.<br /> <br /> Ironically, the female police officer investigating the case at the division was also robbed by the gang when she boarded their vehicle while in mufti.<br /> <br /> She was able to get details of the vehicle during the attack. The cab was later traced to Iyana-Iba the next day when unsuspecting passengers were already boarding it.<br /> <br /> Ahmed was then arrested while the other members escaped. The case was later transferred to SARS for further investigation which eventually led to the arrest of Victoria.<br /> <br /> <b>Mode of operation</b><br /> The gang had two operational styles. First, they could use two operational vehicles.<br /> <br /> One of the suspects, Ahmed would occupy the driver’s seat while Victoria, the only female suspect in the gang sits in front and another gang member at the back as unsuspecting passengers board the cab.<br /> <br /> The other two members would sit in the back-up vehicle. Immediately they get to a lonely place along the road, the gang members in the back-up cab would signal the driver with the passenger to stop by flashing his phone.<br /> <br /> The driver would then pretend to be fixing his vehicle that would have suddenly become faulty. This will allow those in the back-up vehicle to launch an attack. That way the passengers won’t suspect any foul play.<br /> <br /> The second mode of operation is that they use one vehicle with Victoria sitting beside the driver to pick passengers without the back-up vehicle.<br /> <br /> The criminals will soon be charged to court.</div> </div> </div>
