In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor,
Mr. Habib Aruna, the state government said unscrupulous persons render
their prospective victims unconscious through rubbing a perfumed
handkerchief on their face.
The statement alerted that the bandits usually targets unsuspecting
victims either in a lonely commuter bus, taxi or a quiet corner.
It added that by the time the effect of the drugged perfume wears off, the criminals would have fled off after robbing a victim.
The statement listed the Igando axis in Alimosho Local Government
Area as one of the areas where this new dimension of crime has become
very pronounced in recent times.
“It is not yet known how harmful the drug being used on the
handkerchief is. While that is being checked out, it may be necessary to
alert members of the public on this new dimension,”the statement said.
