Nigerians React As Robbers Invade Lagos Communities

SEVERAL communities in Lagos State are now living in fear due to recent robbery attacks after the lockdown.

The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), said it received reports of about three cases of robberies in different neighborhoods in the state.

Okechukwu Nwanguma, Executive Director of RULAAC, said in a release that cases have been reported in Ipaja area and another in Alagbado area of Lagos.

This happened as the 14-day lockdown order issued by President Muhammadu Buhari to curb the spread of COVID-19 enters day 12 in the state.

“In one case, a relative of a resident called requesting that we call the attention of the Lagos State Police Command to the incident. A call to the Lagos State Police PRO and the Commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) was promptly responded to and the crime was foiled,” Nwanguma said.

However, this development has generated several reactions. here are the reactions  as follows

Good morning, Commander @TunjiDisu1. A number of citizens are currently living in fear and there are reports of brazen attacks in broad daylight. What is the current position regarding #LagosUnrest please?

Woke up to #OgunUnrest yesterday. Woke up to #LagosUnrest and #OgunUnrest today.@PoliceNG, please do more to protect citizens from danger. All DPOs and stations should have their men patrolling round the clock. This is a very delicate period.

Dear @PoliceNG. Two days ago, @iSlimfit warned that #OgunUnrest may spread to neighbouring states like Lagos. You said you were addressing the situation. How are you addressing #LagosUnrest please? https://t.co/TDvqKJBoAo
