According to a police source who shared the report with newsmen, the alleged thieves pretended to be beggars on the freeway in order to steal from passing cars.

According to the source, the perpetrators took the victim’s phone and gold necklace by force. The victim then informed the Ilasan division patrol officers stationed at the Jakande roundabout, which resulted in their detention.

He said, “A motorist while in the traffic at Agungi Lekki Laguna said that two men who disguised themselves as beggars approached him, and they forcefully collected his phone and his gold necklace.

“He quickly alerted the patrolmen of the Ilasan Division stationed at the Jakande roundabout, and they swung into action speedily. One Olumide Oladiji and one Lekan Ibrahim were arrested and taken to the station.”
