Residents of Elerinko
Estate in Ijoko-Ota in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State live in
fear as suspected robbers threatened to
attack them.
The suspected robbers pasted the letters on
buildings, electric poles and other strategic places in the estate last
Saturday, before dawn.
A resident who spoke under the condition of
anonymity said:
“We woke up on
Saturday to see the notice pasted all over the estate asking us to prepare for
the robbers,” a resident said.
Another resident, forwarded the message to the Commissioner of Police in the state and also to journalists.
According to him, “in
the letter, the robbers said they will attack us. That we should make cash available
in our homes. That we had enjoyed peace for too long, adding that no security
can stop them. You can imagine the panic in the area with many planning to pack
out. Please help us.”
In his reaction, the
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that
the command was aware of the threat by the robbers, saying the commissioner has
ordered the area commander to do the needful.
