Lagos taskforce deploys motorcycles to fight ‘one- chance’ robbers

The Lagos State Taskforce has increased its efforts to curb the rising threat of “one chance” operators and traffic-related crimes by deploying additional patrol motorcycles across key areas in the state.

This action follows numerous complaints from the public after the agency’s initial rollout of Max S Bikes in August.

According to the Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele, the reinforcements will help intensify patrol operations, particularly in high-risk areas such as Agege Motor Road, Fagba, Gbagada Expressway, Iyana-Oworo, and Oshodi Expressway.

“The deployment of additional patrol units will significantly improve our ability to respond swiftly to incidents, track down criminals, and ensure the safety of all motorists,” said Akerele.

“The Lagos State Taskforce remains committed to maintaining law and order within the metropolis, ensuring that all citizens can travel without fear of robbery or other criminal activities,” he continued.

Akerele highlighted the urgent need for enhanced security, given the high number of public complaints about “one chance” robberies, where unsuspecting commuters are lured into vehicles and robbed of their belongings.

He assured Lagosians that the increased number of patrol bikes will create a greater sense of safety and help reduce traffic crimes. “We want the public to know that we are actively working to make Lagos safer,” he added.

Akerele also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the agency through their designated hotline at 08089705008 or via their social media platforms.

The Director of Press and Public Affairs for the Taskforce, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, echoed the Chairman’s call for public cooperation, emphasizing that these new measures will not only curb crime but also improve environmental safety across the city.

The additional motorcycles are expected to enhance mobility for Taskforce officers, enabling quicker responses to emergencies and ensuring that crime hotspots are more closely monitored.
