Robbers write to residents to demand 'end of year gifts' Residents of Onimaba, Lagos have been living in
fear since last week Thursday when a letter
purportedly written by armed robbers circulated
their streets.
According to Nigeria’s PUNCH Metro the letter,
which was typed on an A4 paper and scattered on
the streets, was noticed by residents as they woke
up on Thursday morning.
About 20 copies of the letter were said to have
been picked up from streets and the case has since
been reported at the Igando Police Division by the
landlords association.
During a visit to the area on Friday afternoon,
PUNCH Metro obtained a copy of the letter.
In the paper, the robbers wrote that residents
should be prepared to ‘entertain’ them as they
were coming for their end-of-the-year packages.
The robbers added that they could strike the area
at any time they deemed fit.
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.”
According to PUNCH Metro, one of the landlords,
who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, said
the robbers also dispatched the letter to
neighbouring areas such as Pako and Irepodun.
