The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested four suspected members of a vehicle theft syndicate that allegedly specialised in posing as passengers on e-hailing platforms before robbing Bolt and Uber drivers of their vehicles and valuables.
The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Sanusi, disclosed this while parading suspects and recovered exhibits at the command headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
Sanusi said the suspects were arrested on July 7, 2026, following credible intelligence by operatives of the command’s Violent Crime Response Unit.
According to him, preliminary investigations showed that the suspects booked commercial vehicles through e-hailing platforms before attacking the drivers and dispossessing them of their vehicles.
