Robbery, Shooting At Murtala-Muhammed International Airport In Lagos by Maxymilliano(m): 9:56pm On Mar 13, 2013
Multiple eyewitness reports reaching us say bureau de change traders were attacked by armed robbers around Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, at about 7.30 Wednesday evening.

The unconfirmed reports added that shooting took place at the airport, which left two policemen and one armed robber dead.

Armed policemen arrived moments after robbers attacked traders and travelers around MMIA, Lagos.

As at press time, casualty figures are unknown but those injured are said to be receiving treatment from the airport medical team.

Details later…

Robbery at arrival. Just escaped a hail of bullets at d MMIA Lag alongside my 2 siblings. Three policemen killed. Others wounded. Sheer pandemonium. Airport police ran into hiding wt d rest of us. D robbers were said to have made away wt a large sum, in dollars and reportedly being ferried to Dubai as d money arrived d car park. *Still in shock. Silent supplication*.

Woke up to see the news where my president made no apology for pardoning a robber.
Read police shooting the robbers before sleeping.
Seems today is the robber's day
What news i will hear tomorrow, only God knows.

May there no be more casualties in the gun duel.

just unfortunate, nigeria international airport for that matter. somebody knew the money was comming, these wasnt a random attack at all. if robbers can attack intl airport easily what will happ if those idi,.ot (BH) decides to carry out practice at any of our airport, just imagine. typical nigeria govt, they wont put security in place, until something worse happens.

i hope the security at the airport is improved after this robbery.

An armed assault on Nigeria's primary gateway to the world is serious muffugin chit, and the fact that the gang escaped the scene of the crime will, unfortunately, send a message to terror networks already active in Nigeria that the international airport is not as impregnable as assumed by many.
