‘One chance’ incidents involve criminals posing as commuters in order to rob or deceive unsuspecting passengers.
According to reports from PUNCH Metro, Ejovi boarded the bus bound for Berger around 7 p.m. after finishing work. Upon boarding, he found the bus occupied by seven individuals, including a woman with a young child, and five other men, including the driver, suspected to be accomplices.
Ejovi recounted that two of the men were armed with pistols, one positioned at the rear and the other near the door.
“There was nothing suspicious about the bus, and I was not particularly wary due to the presence of a child and a woman. However, during the journey, the man behind me tapped me, and when I turned, I noticed a pistol on his lap. The man near the door, whom I assumed was the conductor, also revealed his weapon, concealed under his shirt. They then demanded that I empty my pockets and surrender all my belongings,” he stated.
He continued, “I handed over the cash I had, amounting to over N4,000, as well as my phone. Upon reaching the Berger bridge, I was forcibly pushed out of the moving vehicle, and the bus sped off before bystanders could react.”
Ejovi reported the incident to the Ogun State Police Command, where an officer recorded details of the robbery, assuring him that the case would be escalated to the Divisional Police Officer for investigation.
In a related development, the Niger State Police Command recently apprehended four suspects in possession of 295 rounds of AK-47 rifle ammunition. The suspects concealed the ammunition within bags of grains on a poultry farm along the Garam/Bwari Road via Sabon-Wuse in the Tafa Local Government Area of the state. One suspect confessed that the weapons were intended for use in Mangu, Plateau State, while another admitted to purchasing the ammunition in Kaduna State, according to Police Public Relations Officer, Wasiu Abiodun.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.
The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.
-
Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.
-
Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.
-
Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.
-
Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.
The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
