New Robbery Tactic In Lagos.

Robbers in Lagos now take "one-chance" buses to rob people by seizing and going through their phone to check their bank alerts. They then. lead victims to the nearest ATM and force them to withdraw or transfer to their account at gun point.

How to take precautions.

1. Delete or disable all bank SMS or email alert sin your phones.
2. Minimize the number of ATM cards you carry. Carry just one preferably with low cash balance.
3. Be very conscious of any commercial bus you enter especially at night. One-chance thieves have started again.
4. Make sure all mobile money apps on your phones are well hidden. Robbers could go through your phones and force you to transfer all your money to theirs via your mobile money app.
5. If eventually you fall victim, pls don't give them fake ATM PIN. People have been shot because of this. Your life is more valuable.
