Heavy Gunshots In Lekki 1 As Police Battles With Armed Robbers! by shammah1(m): 5:40pm On Mar 12, 2015
Exactly around 4:52pm on today I heard gunshots along Admiralty way, Lekki phase 1, Lagos as suspected armed robbers are attacking one of the banks along the street.

Everyone around had to run for their lives as no one knows where the bullets are will land. Even the Lekki Ikoyi Toll gate was on a stop.

Watching from my rooftop, I saw people coming out of their vehicles by the toll gate and are running for their lives. The shooting lasted for about 20mins. All I hear now is police sirens everywhere around.

If you're coming to this axis kindly turn back for now! It's not secure at the moment. Cheers!

Looks like some people missed out on GEJ's 1.5million jobs, so they took to armed robbery instead. Pity.

At this time of the day...walahi this is terrible oh

Four people were killed on Thursday evening when a gang of armed robbers invaded the branch of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) at Plot B, Waterfront Plaza, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos state. According to a witness, the four people were three police escorts of a passing civilian Coaster bus and a fish seller. The robbers, numbering at least 12, arrived a few minutes before 5pm via a boat, and immediately began firing gunshots into the air in an operation that lasted exactly 25 minutes.

“It was a well-coordinated attack,” the witness said. “The robbers arrived in military camouflage and immediately distributed themselves, three of them manning each of the four exits of the bank. As I am talking to you now, the bodies of the three policemen that were killed are still on the ground.” He added that after forcing their way into the banking hall, the robbers immediately announced their intention, and everyone cooperated with them.

“Nobody was killed inside the bank because once they announced that they were robbers, everyone, including bank staff, cooperated. All the four people killed were shot outside. The fish seller was crossing the road while the robbery was going on. “So it was a successful operation for them, because they made away with a lot of money. They even hacked into the ATMs and carted away the money stuffed there. “When they finished, they escaped using the same speed boat the came with.” The robbery attack enthroned fear in the area, as people abandoned their cars on the road and scuttled to safety, causing traffic obstruction that last well over an hour after the attack.” Kayode Aderanti, the Lagos state commissioner of police, who visited the the bank, said the police was assessing the situation and promised that the robbers would be apprehended.
