Preliminary investigations reveal that the suspects: Dele Olawale, 52; Remi Ogunleye, 45; and Kole Akintunjoye, 40, reside in Ogun State but resume in Lagos daily to prey on unsuspecting passengers.

The gang, operating in a Volkswagen Golf, with registration number: KRD 998 DE, act like total strangers to one another to disarm their victim.

They carry out their nefarious activities mostly in Lagos Island, Lekki and Ikoyi.

The Commander of the RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, has since transferred the case to the State Headquarters for further investigations.
