Armed Robbers Kill Two Policemen, Seven Others in Lagos


It was a bloody Sunday yesterday for those who reside in Alfa-Nla Agege and those in Ifako-Gbagada of Lagos as a gang of armed robbers ,six men and two women!!! Imagine! Women!!! Drove in two SUVs, a Prado and Armada ...began their raid at around 10: 30am in the morning from Ifako-Gbagada and drove through Oshodi and finally made another raid in Agege. The bureau de change owners at Agege where attacked while the robbers shot at two of them before carting away two bags containing local and foreign currencies running into millions.
Seven people died in the different attacks which took place. A stray bullet shot by the robbers also hit a six-year old girl in the eye and her grandmother on the forehead while they were watching TV in their home at No 15, Alfa-Nla, Agege.
After making their last raid in Agege, some Police men on parade tried to apprehend them but two of the men were shot dead by the robbers at Guinness bus stop at Oba Akran before the robbers escaped with their loots. :(
Lagos State Commissioner for Information Lateef Ibirogba described the sporadic shooting by hoodlums as ugly and unfortunate, especially on a Sunday morning.
He said although no society was free of crime, the state government was committed to ensuring that people can go to bed with their eyes closed.”The Lagos State Government will always make sure that there is co-operation between the government and the security agencies to kick crime out of the state. We are putting in our best to get crime and criminals out of Lagos as well as ensure that security agencies live up to their responsibilities.”We will always complement security agencies to make Lagosians and other residents go to bed with their eyes closed,” he said.
