‘One chance’ is commonly used in Nigeria to refer to a robbery that takes place when a group of criminals picks up passengers waiting for a taxi or bus, to rob or defraud them.

One of the recent victims of a ‘one chance,’ Greatness Olorunfemi, was reportedly planning to relocate to the United States to further her studies by earning a PhD in Microbiology before she was killed.

Speaking to journalists at the command’s headquarters on Friday, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba noted that Ezirike’s operational vehicle, a blue Golf 3 car with Reg. No. KWL 536 RZ was also recovered by the police.

He further noted that most of the vehicles recovered over such crimes had tinted glasses on them, adding that during a police search, an axe, a cutlass, and one knife suspected to be used in carrying out criminal activities were recovered from the vehicles, adding that three of the suspects arrested in relation to such incidents are under investigation.

Garba said, “On October 11, 2023, acting on credible intelligence, police operatives from Byazhin Division trailed and arrested one Chukwudi Ernest Ezirike, a wanted ‘one-chance’ kingpin terrorising Kubwa/Zuba expressway.
