it appears to me dt they were not just ordinary armed robbers. but those who are trained to handle guns by d tax payers money. considering d daredevileness exhibited

People should not over blem the police on this issue, it happend very fast. The truth was that those guys were steps ahead of the police even the amunitions they are with are something else. And besides police are human being too and most of them ve families who depends on them. I would ve fallen a victim but God saved me cause i went inside to urinate only to return and see those guys in action. Initially, i thought i was watching action movie but behold it was real and i and my friend had to take cover at the back of electric pole. They only shoot to scare people when they met a small hold up and people were shouting OLE at them. We tried to carry the victims to MOTONANI HOSPITAL but the entrance door was locked, we tried to force ourselves in but we couldn't so we had to take them somewhere else. Few minutes leter, we heard that the police had cought them at ikeja so we rused to see 4 ourselves but only to find out that the dead bodies were a police man and a danfo driver. We were all this disappointed. They met a patrol van right opposite Guinnes plc and they open fire on them killing 2 police men and the danfo man. As if that was not enough for me and my friend, we decised to go and visit his relation @ ojudu, again we met them at imole round about. I nearly shit 4 body, we take cover again but it was just an okada man thet was shoot there. All in all, i thank God that i am still alive to day. It was never funny.i dnt pray to see such in my life again. May the soul of those that lost their lives rest in peace. It was a bad sunday

Mark my words, those criminals made de mistake of entering lagos. Their identity will soon be unraveled.

Ameeeeen oooooooooo
However, unravelling the identity of the criminals (if wrong people are not paraded) is not as important as foiling their operation.
We have RRS everywhere harrassing commercial drivers everywhere. You see them in their numbers at Oshodi. At Iyana-Ipaja bus stop, you see full armed MOPOL with Armoured car, what is the work of all those ones?
Why do we have communication gadgets?
Police has always made mediocre statement that "we are on top of the situation" for how long??

fuqua: With all the blackberries out there, nobody was able to take pictures!

My brother, I dont pray you're ever confronted by armed robbers or even be a mere spectator at a robbery scene.
Cos if that ever happens, you"ll realize that getting a picture with your phone will be the laaaast thing on your mind. Aside that, its also a dumb and very dangerous move to make

BUT, how could the policemen killed in their van still be caught unawares when the robbers had been operating around Lagos for atleast over an hour before then?
The gunmen's rampage from Bariga to Mile 2 to Agege must have taken well over an hour and should have kept every policeman in the metropolise on Red Alert!

what then is the essence of the newly installed CCTV's across the state and Command Center?
