A one-chance syndicate in Delta State has revealed how they pose as transporters to rob and assault women during their operations.

The suspects made the revelation during their parade by the Delta State Police Command on Tuesday.

Among the suspects paraded in a post by the Force spokesperson, Bright Edafe, is a man identified as Vincent.

Speaking at the Ughele A Division during an interview organized by the Edafe, Vincent admitted to the crimes.

Narrating how they lure their victims before robbing them, he said, “We pretend like we are transporters; look for vulnerable young girls. When we pick them up, another gang member joins, and we drive to a lonely road or bush. We collect their phones, open their apps, transfer their money, and sometimes assault them.”

According to Vincent, the gangs’ primarily targets were women. He stated that they avoided robbing men.

Vincent also revealed that the syndicate operate under two scenarios. Approaching women at clubs and convincing them to join, or posing as drivers to unsuspecting women on the streets.

The Force spokesman, Edafe, however, explained the modus operandi further so that the public will not fall victim.

He said, “They operate in two dimensions. One is that they pretend like they are transporters, looking for vulnerable young girls. They don’t target men. They target young girls. Pretend like they want to carry them. They will carry them as passengers.

“When they get to about 100 metres away, another of their gang members will be waiting. They will now enter and they will now put the lady in their middle, drive them to a lonely road. At times to the bush where they collect their phone, enter their mobile app, transfer all the money they have, collect their phones. At times, they will rape these ladies.

“We have one of the victims with us, though she’s scared, and she does not want to talk. And you know we cannot compel her to talk,” Edafe said.

According to the police spokesperson, the gang also has a connection with a woman who allegedly buys stolen wigs from them.

The woman, who was also paraded admitted to purchasing five wigs from one of the suspects. She, however, claimed she was unaware of sources.
