Armed Robbers Send Letters To Residents, Demanding “End Of Year” Gifts

Stuff just got scary for residents of the Igando area of Lagos State! They are now living in fear after armed robbers wrote to them last week demanding “end of year” gifts!

The residents of Onimaba, College Bus stop, Ikotun Road, Igando, Lagos which read,

ROBBERY INFORMATION

Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared. Our dues must be paid this festive season. Nobody can stop us as we can strike at any time. Only enough money can save your life.

To be forewarned is to be fore-harmed. We have warned you in this area, and if you have ears, you ought to hear.”

20 copies of the letter were reportedly circulated and dropped at different streets in the area. The residents woke up Thursday morning to find the letters, which were picked up by Lateef Bello, Ogunbewon, Taiwo Adediran, and Alhaji Hamzat.

The Chairman of the landlords association in the area is said to have reported the threat letters to the Igando Police Division but the police say no case has been filed with them.

The Lagos State Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said,

The incident has not been reported to the Igando Police Division. However, if the residents have received such letter, let them bring it to the police. If there is such information, we will do well to ensure we deploy enough personnel in the area. The responsibility of the police is to ensure safety of lives and property in the state

With forensics and finger printing it would be so easy to track down the people who wrote that letter but then again this is Nigeria not an Hollywood movie
