The Guardian’s Editor-in-Chief, Mr Debo Adesina, lost several valuables, yesterday when he was robbed inside the traffic on Oshodi Bridge in Lagos.

The robbers, who took to their heels immediately after the act, dispossessed him of his phones and other valuables.

As at the time of the robbery, no police officer was in sight and the hoodlums went from car to car, smashing windscreens and collecting valuables from innocent motorists. Items stolen from Adesina included mobile phones, cash and company identity card.

Lagosians have continued to call on Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to address the increasing trend in traffic robbery. The issue has escalated as the robbers now operate boldly, even near places where there are security agents.

According to reports, robbers operating inside the traffic are now all over Lagos, from the Anthony stretch onto Oshodi-Isolo Expressway to Toyota Bus Stop.

Apart from Oshodi, other flashpoints where the hoodlums operate are Murtala Muhammed Airport Road, Costain/National Theatre, Third Mainland Bridge, Anthony-Oshodi Road, Gbagada-Oworonshoki-Ketu Expressway, Mile Two-Badagry Expressway, Ojota-Berger- Long Bridge on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Agege Motor Road.
