The Ekiti State Police Commissioner, CP Akinwale Kunle Adeniran has warned commercial motorcyclists in the State to shun riding at late hours of the day, avoid taking customers to isolated or strange location and be very cautious when carrying two or more people in other to avoid being attacked by criminal elements.
According to a press statement issued by the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu, he said the State Police Command is in receipt of an intelligent report that some armed hoodlums have concluded plans and are now out to attack motorcyclists and dispossess them of their motorcycles, money and other valuables.
“Reliable information available has it that this set of criminal elements will lure their intended victims to isolated locations at odd hours under the pretence of paying extra charges, attack them and cart away their motorcycles and other belongings.
“The Command is deeply concerned and in view of this, implores members of the public especially motorcycle riders to, in their own interest, shun riding at late hours of the day, avoid taking customers to isolated or strange locations, be cautious when conveying two or more passengers at a time to distant or isolated locations out of greed.” The statement reads.
While the Command promised to work assiduously to ensure that maximum security is provided for the citizenry, members of the public are also advised to be wary of the activities of these criminal elements and observe these precautionary measures in order not to be victims of the men of the underworld.
While reinstating the commitment of the Command to put an end to crime related activities in the State, the CP warned the Criminally minded individual to desist from their criminal activities in the State, or meet their Waterloo soon.
