Mob Apprehends Suspected ‘One-Chance’ Robbers in Wuse II
A tense scene unfolded in Abuja’s Wuse II district on Friday morning when an irate mob apprehended three individuals suspected of being “one-chance” robbers. The suspects allegedly attacked a woman near Chocolate Mall, forcibly taking two mobile phones from her vehicle. [1]
Eyewitnesses reported that the suspects attempted to flee the scene but were swiftly pursued by bystanders. The crowd caught up with them, administering a severe beating before law enforcement officers arrived. The timely intervention of the police prevented the mob from lynching the suspects, who were then taken into custody. [1]
The victim, though visibly shaken by the ordeal, escaped without physical harm. As of the time of this report, authorities have not released an official statement regarding the incident. [1]
This event underscores the persistent threat posed by “one-chance” robberies in Nigeria’s capital. In March 2024, police arrested 11 individuals linked to such crimes in the Federal Capital Territory, recovering items including a Mazda saloon car and a Point-of-Sale machine. [2]
The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
