franzis: Residents in some streets in the Palmgroove area of Lagos are currently living in fear after receiving a letter from armed robbers who said they are coming soon to raid them. (copy of the purported letter above). The letter which was sent to five different streets on Saturday September 6th, reads in part;
"Beware of the coming! Be on the look out in this area. Property owners are coming anytime from now. The gate men you have are not our problem. Our problem is how many resources do you have for us? August visitor must visit whether you like it or not. So expect August visitor when you did not expect. Surely August visitor shall visit just like the second coming of Jesus. It is turn by turn."In the last line of the letter which is not clear, the armed robbers listed names of the street they plan to attack. They are Oseni street, Nkanna street, Odogbolu street, Ibiwoye Oba and Bode Thomas street.
Some residents in the area immediately contacted police and they sent some of their men to guard the streets for a few hours yesterday. The residents say they are so scared.

oboman: The residents would be better off if they buy guns and defend themselves..... Why should they cower in fear and watch thieves kill, steal and molest their wives?

You are legally allowed to hold a gun in Nigeria if you have the license.. They should arm themselves and practice some coordinated military tactics.

BOUNTYDOG:

A man I know in the lawanson area of surulere once tried such stunts,and killed one of the gang,believe me he never lived peacefully in the house ever after,he 1st relocated his family,as they kept coming back for him until he got tired and sold the property.

Jesuspistol: Who did they hand the letter over to. Who collected the letter in each street...that's the 1st suspect.

Or if posted as a bill, were d streets so silent that not even the security men could notice?

BOUNTYDOG: That's y u need dogs rather than vigilantes for security.I can't imagine any armed robber with guts to scale a fence where there are 4 rottweillers on guard,u just take fate and move to the next unprotected building else u loose some members of ur gang

LordMecuzy:

Where in makurdi are u?
Lemme give u some Beer at Jackies 2nyt

keandre:

u no knw say dem dey poison dogs?

MissBritney: Ridiculous.

Dreyl: Hehehehehehe
End time message

teeowl: this is why Nigerian Govt should allow us to easily buy pump action shot gun and put in our homes... if every man has a pump action shot gun in palmgroove, you think these bastards would be so confident

junell: Na wa ooo. the best they could do at least is to draft a legible letter. Jesus will soon come like they said, na dat time e go clear for their eye!
