Some suspected robbers on Tuesday attacked motorists on the Mile 2 Bridge of the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.

It was learnt that the robbers, who eyewitnesses also described as street hoodlums, took advantage of the early morning slow traffic to rob the motorists, especially private car owners.
Our correspondent gathered that the hoodlums wielded clubs, cutlasses, machetes and other weapons.

Speaking with newsmen, a motorist, who identified himself simply as Iwalade, said the robbers had a field day as there was no police presence.
He said, "I passed the bridge at about 6.05am. The robbers, who looked like street hoodlums, used clubs and cutlasses to rob motorists. They particularly targeted private car owners. They had a field day. There was no police presence."
Another motorist noted that the solution was a constant police patrol on the bridge, especially in the early morning traffic hours.
He said, "Please, there should be a constant police patrol on that bridge. It is becoming a trend. I almost got robbed on the bridge this morning, but the car behind me was not fortunate."
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nowsu, could not be reached for comment.
