Residents of Onimaba, College Bus stop, Ikotun Road, Igando, Lagos have been living in fear since last week Thursday when a letter purportedly written by armed robbers circulated their streets.
The letter, numbering about 20 was typed on an A4 paper and scattered on the streets, was noticed by residents as they woke up on Thursday morning.
The letter reads,
“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."
Speaking with Punch ,a landlord, who identified himself simply as Alhaji Lawal, said..
“The threat letter is very disturbing. The last time we had a robbery incident in this area was about six months ago. At that time, they came in through the compound of Igando Local Government Primary School, and escaped through Potoku, an unfenced canal at an end of our street. Potoku Canal reaches all the way to Lagos State University Road, Igando.We are calling on the police to intensify efforts in securing our area. We want the Area Commander, Area M Idimu, and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad to beam their searchlight on our areas.”
