"Be Prepared To Pay Our Dues"-Armed Robbers Threatens Lagos Residents

These armed robbers are demanding for their shares from Lagosians. I
don't know why they can't go to Fashola to ask for their shares and
they want to take it by force from the poor people.

Residents of Onimaba, College Bus stop, Ikotun Road, Igando, Lagos
have been living in fear since last week Thursday when a letter
purportedly written by armed robbers circulated their streets.

The letter, numbering about 20 was typed on an A4 paper and scattered
on the streets, was noticed by residents as they woke up on Thursday
morning.

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 simply 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."
