In Edo State, a local motorcycle rider, commonly referred to as a “bike man,” has been apprehended by law enforcement following a string of nighttime robberies.
The suspect, identified as Monday, was reportedly using his bike for more than just transportation.
He would initially transport passengers to their homes, only to return later in the night to rob them, particularly targeting houses in isolated areas.
The arrest followed numerous complaints from residents who had been victims of these targeted thefts. Authorities were alerted to the pattern of crimes and launched an investigation, leading to the bike man’s capture.
He is now in police custody, facing charges of burglary and theft.
This case has heightened concerns about security in the community, prompting local officials to increase patrols and advise residents to be vigilant, especially when dealing with unknown service providers.
