How Lagos ‘One chance’ robbers use aboniki to ‘blind’ victims in Alapere axis

Barely three weeks after the Gbagada kidnapping incident went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, insecurity has taken another turn in the Alapere area of Lagos State.

‘One Chance’ robbers now rub aboniki, a very hot balm, into victims’ eyes.

Some of the victims shared their encounters with robbers in the Alapere area of the state while receiving medical attention at a Lagos hospital.

One of the victims, who demanded anonymity, told Vanguard that her knee was struck with a hammer five times.

According to her, the robbery occurred on January 23.

She narrated: “Around 6 a.m., I was on my way to work from Alapere Estate, so I boarded a Sienna bus heading to Ajah.

“Although the area is usually busy in the morning, with cars and buses going to the island, there’s always activity at Ogudu Berger, Alapere axis, as many people living there work on the island.

“A lady entered first, and I noticed that the Sienna bus wasn’t as crowded as typical Lagos commercial cars.

“There were three people, including myself, at the back. Two guys in the middle with the lady who entered, and a man seated at the front with the driver.
