A hoodlum who colluded with others to rob a lady of her phone in Lekki, Lagos, has been caught in a dramatic way.
According to the RRS Police, he was nabbed while playing the betting popularly called Baba Ijebu.
The squad detailed the operation thus on Sunday:
Around 10:30 p.m on Thursday, 23rd April, our officers on patrol along Marwa, Lekki – Ajah, Lagos were approached by a lady who complained that her phones were snatched by some hoodlums.
The officers went after the hoodlums but they coudln’t get hold of them. They did their discrete investigations that very night and they narrowed down on the suspects.
The following day the officers recognised one of the suspected hoodlums playing “baba-ijebu” and he was immediately apprehended. Both phones were recovered from him.
We have contacted the owner of the phones and handed them over to her.
