On January 19, 2018, a taxi driver who rides under the umbrella of a popular organisation called Uber picked up a woman at Oniru whose destination was second toll gate in Lekki. On the way, she requested that the driver stop on the way so she could collect money from her boyfriend.

He obliged her and stopped. As soon as he did so, a gang of armed robbers fell upon him, robbed him of his Toyota Corolla car with Reg. No. KRD-827-EY, a sum of N20,000 and his two phones. Two members of this deadly gang identified as Zino Tochukwu Ude and Anumelechi Chris Williams have been nabbed.

The female lady suspected to have led the operation have also been exposed but her identity has not been revealed because she is being interrogated by the police who believe she can lead them to other suspects who are involved in similar crimes.
