‘One Chance’: FCT Police warns against boarding unpainted ‘kabu-kabu’

The Police Commissioner in the FCT, Mr Haruna Garba, has advised residents to be wary of boarding unpainted taxis to avoid being victims of “one-chance”.

Garba made this known while briefing newsmen in Abuja on the command’s achievements in the fight against crime.

“I wish to advise residents of the FCT to be wary of the kind of vehicles they board. It is advised that they should board only painted taxis from designated motor parks.

“It is risky to board an unpainted taxi, otherwise known as ‘kabu-kabu’, as they may fall victim of these robbers known as ‘One Chance’,” he said.

He also noted that the Command had found as untrue the alarm raised by 14 residents of the territory that their organs were missing.

The police chief said the alarm was found to be untrue after a medical examination was conducted on each of those who raised the alarm,

He added that the 14 persons involved were currently being prosecuted following the confirmation of their lies.

“They are being prosecuted for giving false information and inciting public disturbances.

“The false alarm had also misled the Police in dealing with mob action which were carried out against more than 10 accused persons in the FCT in the past few weeks.”
