Robbers Attack Passengers On BRT Bus In Daylight by prof2007: 7:40am On Nov 03, 2019
Men of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Corps on Friday botched a robbery attack on passengers of a BRT bus, arresting two suspects – Kenechukwu Chukwuka and Adam Isiak. The suspects, six of whom are still at large, reportedly boarded the bus from Tollgate, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Ogun State, en route to Oshodi around 7.30am.

It was gathered that the assailants suddenly brought out weapons on reaching Ijaiye area and started beating up the passengers. The driver quickly drove to a halt and raised the alarm which caught the attention of passersby and LNSC (Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps) officials around.

Spokesperson for the corps, Mr Adewale Afolabi, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Friday, said the robbery was thwarted. He said one of the arrested suspects, Chukwuka, confessed to being a member of the aiye confraternity.

He stated, “Today, Friday, at 7.45am, Mr Samuel Abiodun and some other passengers were attacked by eight boys inside a BRT bus going from Tollgate to Oshodi with planks and other weapons. Two of the suspects, Kenechukwu Chukwuka, 26, who is a native of Enugu State, and 23-year-old Adam Isiaka, a native of Lagos State, were apprehended by LNSC officers.

“However, six other suspects escaped and are still at large. Chukwuka and Isiaka both work at Ladipo Market. Chukwuka confessed to being a member of aiye confraternity holding meetings at Ajao Estate .The case has been transferred to the Ijaiye-Ojokoro Police Division, for further investigation and possible prosecution.”

Chief Security Officer, Primero Company Limited, Mr Cletus Okodolor, which operates BRT in the state, said the bus wasn’t the company’s, adding that he was not aware of such incident. He said, “Our own BRT buses shuttle between Ikorodu and TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square), Lagos Island. It could be one of the news ones given to other transporters.”

There should be a capital punishment for cultist, if caught their organs should be harvested and kept in the National hospital for patients that needs organ transplant(s).....

If they don't want to be useful to their families, their body parts shall be useful to the society.
