Two men who attacked a Taxify driver, Afred Moses, along the Lekki-Epe Express way, Lekki, Lagos and robbed him of his Toyota Corrola, have been arrested.
The suspects, Daniel Abah, 27 and Edwin Edache, 31 both from Otukpo Benue State in June, 2019, had boarded the complainant’s car along the Lekki Epe Expressway and told him to take them to Ibeju Lekki.
However, on their way, they allegedly told the driver that they were robbers and that he should park his car and hand over the key to them or else they would kill him.
When Moses refused to stop his car, one of the suspects, Abah, held him by the neck while his accomplice, Edache, poured petrol on his face, forcing the driver to stop the car.
The suspects then dragged him out of the car and drove it away. The driver, after regaining consciousness, reported the matter to the police who tracked the car and the suspects to their hideout in Lekki.
Meanwhile, giving reasons for their action, the suspects said: “If the driver had listened to our order, we would not have held him by the neck and poured petrol on his face, but his stubbornness led us to it.”
