Naija News understands that the last incidence took place last Thursday. This made it the seventh time such is happening with no single arrest being made by the police.

Naija News further gathered that items such as iPhone 11, six necklaces, some cash, four generator sets, and other valuables were taken away by the robbers.

This has led students to flee from those affected areas to safe zones within Obantoko and Osiele areas of Abeokuta, to prevent being robbed.
