The duo approached a motorist in a gridlock at Agungi area in Lekki on Friday, soliciting for alms, but forcefully took his telephone handset and jewellery and took to their heels.
Police spokesman in Lagos State, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday that the motorist quickly alerted a nearby police patrol team that arrested the robbers.
“The stolen items were recovered from them.
