A suspected ‘one chance’ gang has reportedly pushed a 53-year-old trader, Alhaji Usman Mani, out of their speeding car after dispossessing him of N700,000 cash near Government Secondary School (GSS) Yangoji, along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.
The victim, who resides in Unguwar Sabon-Tasha in the Abaji Area Council, while narrating the incident to our reporter on Sunday, said it happened around 6:25pm on Saturday, when he boarded a vehicle at the Wazobia Park in Gwagwalada, coming to Abaji.
He said he left Tungan Maje market, where he went to sell some goods and boarded the vehicle to Gwagwalada. He said he boarded another vehicle from the Wazobia Park to Abaji, when he fell into the hands of the one chance syndicate.
“There were three people sitting at the back while one person was in the front, including two females. I sat at the back, making it four people.
‘’Shortly before a sharp bend near the GSS Yangoji, a female passenger complained that she was tightly squeezed and the driver stopped and asked me to come and sit in front,” he said.
Mani said that immediately he alighted and wanted to join the front seat, one of the occupants shoved him out of the vehicle, and the driver zoomed off with his bag containing N700,000 cash.
He said he sustained bruises in the process, adding that the driver of another vehicle, who identified him, stopped and gave him a free ride to Abaji.
The spokeswoman for the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, did not respond to calls put across to her, neither did she reply to text message sent to her on the incident as at the time of filing the report.
