What police said about Abuja's one-chance
According to the police chief, the one-chance operators always asked passengers to sit at the front to adjust their seats while those sitting at the back offered to help them hold their bags.
The tweet reads:
"Some of the operators of "Shifting Seat One chance" syndicate were arrested in Abuja recently, with one of the cars bought with the proceeds of the criminal act. They are mostly men who recruit women, in most cases, their spouses, to join.
"Be careful when you see a cab or car with 3 or 4 passengers(mostly men) at the back and a woman in the front. They park to pick you up and insist you sit in the front. They always ask you to adjust the seat and offer help to hold your bag for you so that you can be free to adjust the seat. In the process, they steal your phone(s).
"They are the ones. Please watch the video on our platforms and other media platforms to hear the tricks. Be vigilant."
