Suspected ‘one chance’ operators have robbed and stabbed a female resident of Abuja, despite the partial lockdown in the federal capital due to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The victim was found stranded and wounded by officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) Enforcement Team on Night Movement Restriction.
The chairman of the enforcement team, Ikharo Attah, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja.

Attah said the task force found the lady who had been fleeced by the suspected robbers while on patrol in the FCT.
“We rushed her to Maitama Hospital, where doctors attended to her,” he said.
Attah also said his team intercepted 43 travellers while trying to sneak into the FCT at night despite the ban on interstate travel by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the defaulters were apprehended at the popular AYA Roundabout in Asokoro District of the FCT.
Attah added that the drivers and motorists were immediately turned back and escorted by security personnel out of the federal capital.
