The Nasarawa State Police Command says criminals are now disguising themselves as passengers to snatch vehicles from motorists in the state.
A statement issued by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, on Monday, warned road users to avoid picking up passengers from the roadside.
“The Nasarawa State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that it has uncovered a technique criminals now use to dispossess unsuspecting owners of their vehicles.
“The criminals usually disguise as passengers to stop vehicles plying Lafia-Abuja/Akwanga –Keffi routes and thereafter, dispossess them of the same vehicle,” the statement reads.
Nansel said the Commissioner of Police in the State, Maiyaki Baba, urged members of the public to always go to approved motor parks to board commercial vehicles.
The police commissioner asked residents to be security conscious, adding that the command is working to ensure that the criminals are arrested.
