The Ogun Police Commissioner (CP) Abiodun Mustapha Alamutu, has ordered the arrest and prosecution of nine male bikers for using reflective tinted helmets and scarf to conceal their faces while riding their bikes.

The police boss observed that these suspects  pose as commercial motorcyclists but conceal their true identities to rob unsuspecting passengers and noted that the act has become increasingly common.

CP Alamutu further  urged passengers to exercise caution especially when dealing with fully masked riders, by conducting identity checks on  them before getting on board. 

This precaution, he explained,  is essential to avoid potential kidnappings and robberies targeting unsuspecting victims.

According to him, it is crucial for passengers to be vigilant,.

He assured   the public   that the police will continue to provide updates and disseminate information  regarding this new trend while seeking to unravel the extent of this issue and further crackdown on those involved in such criminal activities.
