GUNMEN suspected to be armed
robbers last fortnight stormed
Celenzia Community in
Okokomaiko area of Lagos State and subjected the residents to
untold hardship and torture. They
particularly struck at 2, Charley
Pace Street, broke into the flats
and tied their husbands together
while the women were compelled to bring all they have in their
kitchens. As the women were
busy preparing delicious dishes
for them, the bandits ransacked
their apartments and collected
over N235, 000 including their valuables. Victims said their operation
started at about 7.00pm in the
evening and ended at about
10:30pm. Crime Alert learnt that before their
operation, four members of the
gang sneaked into a two-storey
building at about 6.00pm and
hung around the pent house
which no one occupies for about an hour. One of the tenants in the
building was reported to have
seen them but could not confront
them thinking they were visiting a
co-tenant. It was also discovered
that the robbers used a neighbour that is familiar with the
tenants to penetrate each and
every flat in the building. When Crime Alert visited the
scene, different accounts of the
victims were taken. The first eye
witness, a tenant who pleaded
anonymity said: “I was lying
down when I saw one of the robbers loitering around and I
challenged him, asking him what
he was doing in front of my flat. He replied me aggressively and
brought out a gun, so I
surrendered to him. He told me
that he will not hurt me if I
cooperated with him and that I
should go upstairs into one of my neighbour’s flat because that was
where other tenants were been
kept. One robbers held tenants hostage
“When I got there, I saw the other
tenants in the room. The men had
their hands tied and their lips
were sealed with tape. It was just
one robber that kept us hostage, he was holding a gun while the
rest were searching the flats.
When we were finally released, I
discovered that my flat was
turned upside down and they
carted away N30,000 from my flat.” Another victim who told Crime
Alert that she went out to throw
away waste when one of the
robbers pointed a gun at her and
forced her to go back to her flat
narrated her story. She said: “I was going out to throw away
waste when one of the robbers
pointed a gun at me and ordered
me back to my flat. “He said if I failed to cooperate
that he will ‘seize my breadth’, so
I went inside. He asked me to
bring all that I have with me and I
told him that I had nothing with
me, he searched the house, collected my phone and told me
to go out and knock at the door
of other neighbours of which I
told him that I am a visitor and I
don’t know anybody.” Another victim said that neither
she nor her husband was around
at the time of the robbery, and
that she was returning from the
market when she heard a cry for
help from the building and quickly ran to the leader of the
community security to lay her
compliant. Community security
“I was just returning from the
market when I heard a cry from
the building shouting thief! thief!!
I ran to complain to the leader of
our community security who responded immediately but we
could not catch up with the
robbers who had left before we
got there.” The leader of the community
security who is simply called
“Baba catch”, said that he alerted
other members of the community
security immediately he was
informed about the robbery but could not catch up with the
robbers. “I was told by passers-by that the
robbers crossed through a
wooden bridge that leads to
another community and that a
suspected boy in a military
camouflage was caught some minutes after the robbers crossed
the same bridge but was released
after some interrogation. “I alerted my boys immediately I
was informed by a tenant of the
building that robbers invaded
their homes. We did not catch up
with them and I ordered my boys
to comb the community. Later, we were told that they crossed over
to the other community through a
wooden bridge. When we got the
bridge, we sighted an under aged
man in a military polo and we
stopped and interrogated him to know who he was and he
aggressively responded that he
was a solider but could not
present his identity. “I have to call a retired military
officer that lives in the community
to come and attest to the claims
and when he came, the boy later
confessed not belonging to the
Nigerian army but a member of the boyscout. That was after he
was slapped on the face by the
angry ex-military officer.
However, he was freed after the
interrogation.”
