The Rise of One Chance Robberies in Abuja: A Lynching Case Study
In Abuja, a suspected “one-chance” robber was reportedly lynched by an angry mob.
The term “one-chance” refers to criminals who operate under the guise of public transport services, luring unsuspecting passengers before robbing them.
The incident happened after the suspect allegedly attempted to rob a victim, leading to public intervention and ultimately, mob justice.
Authorities in Abuja have cautioned against such acts of vigilantism, urging the public to hand over suspects to the police rather than taking the law into their own hands.
This case has intensified conversations around the risks of “one-chance” crimes and the need for more robust security measures in the city.
