For people who use public transportation, who are in the majority, one old menace that seems to have resurfaced is what is popularly known as ‘one-chance’.
An Abuja-based lawyer, Opeyemi Adewale, has recounted her ordeal in the hands of suspected kidnappers who abducted her in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on September 26, 2023. Adewale narrated in an interview with PUNCH that her husband and colleagues parted with N1million before she was released. She said her ordeal started when she boarded a 14-seater bus on the evening of September 26 at a park in Lugbe not knowing that it was a “one-chance” bus.
