For the third time this year, robbers have raided Wepa Street in Ijegun, Alimosho Local Government Area, Lagos, snatching bags and money belonging to passers by.
The five-man gang has been a thorn in the flesh of motorists and passers by using the road, especially in the evening.
P.M.News gathered that the hoodlums, Monday, collected N5,000 from a lady around 7 p.m. 'I was coming from school when members of the gang attacked me. I tried to run, but it was too late as they held me so tight that I almost suffocated to death. When I pretended to be dead, one of them tried to rape me, but I was able to break free, and escaped,' the lady, who refused to disclose her names, said.
A resident of the area, Yomi Odeniran, disclosed that the police had been informed about the situation in the area, but they have not been able to apprehend the culprits. 'The attack is becoming rampant. We want the police to come to our aid and stop these hoodlums,' he pleaded.
