A deadly robbery gang in Lagos, it seems, is set to change the norm of taking their victims and security agents by surprise, as they have given notice of their heinous acts before striking.At Ronke Street, Ijeshatedo, Lagos and its environs, residents are in a state of panic over a letter written to them by armed robbers alerting them of their intention to raid the area.
According to The Sun, copies of the letter were conspicuously pasted on the wall of some of the buildings in the middle of the night. Part of the letter read: “We will pay you people a visit soon. Be prepared for us.”
The development has led some of the residents to upgrade the security features of their homes, while some of them have even fled the area.
From the account of some of the residents, armed robbers have terrorized them on several occasions. One of them who was yet to recover from the shock of a previous experience said:
“Late last year, they visited my house heavily-armed. They took every valuable thing in the house and left. They were about eight of them. The next day, the same group of people came to the next compound and robbed the residents. When we called the police, all they did was to arrest the ladder the robbers used to climb and promised to investigate the matter. Till date, nothing has happened.”
However, the Lagos state police said people should not panic as they were on top of the situation.
