Akinpelu DadaOperatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested three suspected robbers, who lured an Uber driver into the bush, beat him into a state of unconsciousness and made away with his Toyota Camry 2006 model car. The suspects, Daniel Alagor, 28; Samuel Effiong, 25; and three others still at large, had on Wednesday requested the services of the Uber driver from Alagor’s telephone. The Uber driver, Ekwomi, said in his statement to the police, “I agreed to pick their friends and drop them at the venue of the party as we were already in the Abijo GRA. The RRS also said its personnel recovered two locally-made guns and seven live cartridges from another set of suspected robbers on the Eko Bridge. The suspected robbers escaped while the officers were retrieving the guns.
