PUNCH Metro gathered that several motorists had fallen victim to the suspected highway robbers on Thursday morning.

A victim and driver of a Toyota Sienna SUV with Registration Number Delta WWR243PR was sighted in a hot altercation with the suspects near Jesse Junction, shortly after one of his vehicle tyres was hit by the sharp object they threw at it whilst on motion.

Also sighted at the scene was a truck which was said to have been forcefully demobilised earlier in the day by the gangsters. When contacted, most of the stranded commuters, who sought anonymity, expressed gratitude to God that the attack was not in the night or in the wee hours of the day. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, could not be reached for comments on the incident as of the time of filing this report.All rights reserved.
