We don't Make Money Like Before..Due To Economic Melt Down.

A member of one-chance robbery gang that operated on the Lagos Abeokuta Expressway, Adeleke Rasak, has decried the low income for many of the gang members as a result of the economic situation in the country.

Twenty-four-year-old Rasak also described one-chance robbery as “hustling,” saying it is a normal thing and not a crime.

The suspect and another member of his two-man gang, Lucky John and four others were, a few days ago, arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS). 

Adeleke, who resigned as a factory worker to join one-chance robbery gang, said “we don’t make much money like before. The present economic condition in the country has greatly affected our business. We have not been able to make much money, everywhere is dry.”

The suspect added that “frankly, we have not made much money since Monday. We have been sharing N20,000, N30,000 and N40,000. Unlike before, when I operate alone, I could make close to N150,000 daily. Now, business is so difficult.”

The image maker in charge of the state police command, Dolapo Badmos,

confirmed the arrest of the suspects, adding that they had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, for onward investigation..
