Operatives of Lagos state Rapid Response Squad (RRS) has arrested a 22-year-old ex-convict for traffic robbery on Sunday, March 6, 2022.
The ex-convict identified as Rilwan Sodiq was arrested at Abiola Garden, Ojota after disposessing a lady driving Sienna space bus of a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone in Ojota bridge traffic.
It was reported that Rilwan, with a fractured left arm was working with an accomplice, identified as Sodiq, when he dispossessed the lady of her mobile phone. He disclosed that Sodiq distracted the lady while he slipped his hand through the passenger's side of the car to pick the smart phone.
The lady shouts attracted the attention of the RRS officials monitoring the other side of the road, which led to a chase from the officers with the support of some good samaritans.
Rilwan was caught in Abiola Garden, and the phone was recovered from his pant after denying he had stolen anything.
He confessed to have been released from Kirikiri Correctional Center in December 2021, and broke his arm in a traffic accident. He said he had robbed and dispossessed three motorists of their phones in traffic adopting the same method.
