Gun Battle Between Police & Armed-Robbers In Lagos, 2 Killed by Pattey(m): 9:21pm On Nov 20, 2013
Armed Robbers held residents of Akanro Street in Ilasamaja area of Lagos hostage for over an hour with persistent gunshots.

Motorists stopped mid-way (at Agiri Bus-stop), turning back to avoid running into the dare-devil robbers who were a few meters away.

This correspondent monitored events from the said bus stop to get an appraisal of the event.

Initial accounts suggested the armed robbers were attempting to rob. However, on visiting the scene, eye witnesses at the spot of the 'final showdown' explained that the robbers were fleeing from the police and were double crossed at Power-line junction (on Akanro road) by another detachment of SARS operatives.

The resulting gunshots lasted several minutes within the over 1-hour operation, making residents several streets away scamper to safety.

Two of the alleged robbers were killed on the spot and one was taken away with serious gun-shot wounds.
As people gathered at the scene of the bloody encounter, some people were seen picking shelled 'Bullet Casings'. This depicted a high level of ignorance by many people as such could put them in trouble. If peradventure, one of those picking the bullet casings were to be stopped in a police 'stop and search' operation, how would he/she justify the possesion of such items? Despite efforts to stop people, as one person drops a shell, another simply picked it up, and off into his pocket it went. The situation was simply hopeless.

It will perhaps be my first time of commending the Nigerian Police Force, BUT this evening after several robberies in my area, eye-witness accounts describe the SARS operatives as courageous Gallant men. God bless them (the courageous ones) and by his (God's grace), the corruption infested ones will either turn a new leaf or be exposed to ridicule.

It is christmas season again, and the boys are desperate as usual. It is noteworthy that they are not the only ones frustrated with the Nigerian state (and condition).
While some of us continue to weather the storm, in most cases, they choose to further oppress less privileged citizens like themselves; may God help us all.

NB: The bodies were taken away by the police but atttached pictures show shelled bullet casings and blood spatters from those killed. It is quite thick suggesting blown out skulls.

This is why I always fume when I see people ridiculing the Nigeria Police Force. That force has in its ranks some of the bravest men and women on the face of this planet. Ready to battle hardened armed robbers of the type London or New York policemen have never seen. Hundreds of them are killed yearly in these exchanges with robbers. They patrol the streets in their vehicles in the dead of night ready to take on these robbers, while we sleep comfortably in our homes, taking everything for granted. In fact one can say without reservation that the only thing standing between the majority of us 'middle class' type and those hideous, murderous men of the underworld are the brave men and officers of the Nigerian Police. Kudos to the force for their efforts.

I also implore Mr President to further increase the pay of these officers, to match the level of risk and effort involved in the job!

The pictures have been attached. Scroll up

In this one below; follow the arrows (poorly drawn though cheesy) and see some of the bullets fired. . . Well, those that 'survived' being picked by onlookers *Other bullet fragments littered the surrounding environment*

I wonder goats often pretend to be what they are not. Trying to impress people who hardly notice them.

And the quest to maintain such dirty status often lead them into armed robbery.

So many persons have lost their lives to these goats who indulge in robberies.

It often goes higher whenever christmas approaches.

StupId people.
