Armed Robbers Write Letter To Ogun Residents, Warn Them To Keep Christmas Money, Gift At Home

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 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.
