Sex workers robbed by 2 men pretending to be customers 

Police authorities in Lagos State have arrested two men accused of robbing three commercial sex workers on Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Bode Thomas, within Surulere Local Government Area.

Mr Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesman of the command confirmed on Friday that the suspects, whose names have not been released, were taken into custody on August 28, 2024.

They are believed to be responsible for the crime that occurred on August 23, 2024.

According to reports, the suspects had initially approached the sex workers around 4:30pm under the guise of seeking their services.

However, instead of taking them to a promised location, the suspects stopped their vehicle abruptly.

The robbers then proceeded to steal the workers’ valuables, including two iPhones valued at N1.5 million, a Redmi Note 12 worth N140,000, and an iPhone XR priced at N240,000.

Additionally, the suspects coerced the victims into transferring a total of N33,000 to a bank account provided by them during the incident.

Hundeyin revealed that the victims were able to identify the suspects, leading to their arrest.

During interrogation, the suspects admitted to the robbery. Police have recovered one of the stolen phones, a Toyota Camry (gold color) with the plate number APP 335 JA, and two blank plates used in their criminal activities.
