One-Chance Robbers Have Adopted New Method – Police Raises Alarm

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF has raised alarm, warning Nigerians of new tactics used by one-chance robbers nationwide.

The NPF in a post on its official Facebook page on Monday night said one of the new methods adopted by the criminal elements to rob unsuspecting Nigerians is called “Shifting Chair-One Chance.”

The force urged passengers to always be vigilant and watchful to avoid boarding vehicles that are not painted in commercial colour.

The post reads, “It has become vital to intimate members of the public about trending methods adopted by criminals to rob unsuspecting citizens of their possessions. One of such is known as ‘Shifting Chair- One Chance.’

“The Nigeria Police Force advises citizens and other residents in Nigeria to be very watchful and avoid vehicles not marked commercially or without proper identification.”

Recall that one-chance robbery has been an issue of concern in major cities, including Abuja and Lagos State.

It is an organized crime perpetrated by armed robbers who specialize in snatching valuables, including cell phones and cash, from passengers.
