The Nasarawa State Police Command has warned motorists to stop picking strangers on the highway as criminals now pose as commuters to snatch vehicles from unsuspecting motorists at gunpoint.
The Command’s spokesman, DSP Ramhan Nansel, revealed this development on Monday in Lafia, the state capital.
Nansel said the criminals usually posed as commuters and stopped vehicles on the Lafia-Abuja and Akwanga-Keffi routes to perpetrate the act.
