A letter allegedly written by armed robbers have circulated the streets of Igando area of Lagos. The residents of the area have been living in fear ever since the letter surfaced. 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 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."
