Physinews:The Ogun State Commissioner of Police,
CP, Ahmed Iliyasu, has called on residents of Anglican Road, Ilupewo
community in Ado-Odo-Otta Local Government Area of the state in Nigeria to remain
calm after they reportedly received a letter from suspected armed
robbers of an impending visit.
The robbers posted the letters on
gates and doors informing residents of the boundary community between
Lagos and Ogun States, to keep Christmas gifts for them as they would be
visiting anytime soon.
Following the development, the residents have been living in fear, while some have deserted their homes.
According
to reports, the residents, Wednesday, woke up to discover several of
such letters posted to their doorposts, telling them that the robbers
were coming for the operation because of the coming Christmas and New
Year festivities.
The letter which had the following incomplete
phone numbers – 0702288949, 080449930 – stressed that they (robbers)
didn’t want excuses from residents over non-availability of money at
home.
The said letter reportedly typed in Yoruba language,
introduced the robbers as ‘Strong men of the road that own the night,’
urging the recipients to ensure they keep money at home always, even as
they vowed to deal mercilessly with any resident who claims he does not
have money as advanced notice has been given to prepare them.
But
the CP, in a statement on Thursday, assured the residents that the
police was working effortlessly to stop the planned robbery.
He
stated that about 60 houses on Anglican Road had the letters posted on
their doorposts and that the residents reported the matter at the Sango
Police Station.
He, however, called on the residents to remain calm as the security operatives were up to task in dealing with the criminals.
“We are on top of the situation and security has been beefed up in the community,” the CP stated.
