Operatives of Rapid Response (RRS) at around 3.00 a.m saved a Uber driver from losing his 2006 model Toyota Corolla to three armed robbers in Lekki – Ajah expressway.

The robbers had after boarding the car attempted to hijack it from the driver at gun point. The struggling for the steering between the robbers and the driver as well as the swerving of the vehicle on the road drew the attention of the RRS men.

A warning shot in the air made the robbers abandon their locally made shot gun and two live cartridges before fleeing into the bush.
