It was pandemonium last night as the flow of traffic along the ever busy Lagos Ore road was brought to a grinding stop following armed robbery operation around ore section of the road.

An eye witness who gave the information to 360Reporters stated that the robbery began around 11pm, Friday night, forcing travelers to disembark and hide far away from the robbery scene. The eyewitness said some police officers arrived their hiding place around 3 AM, Saturday morning but left hurriedly after gathering information from them in an apparent retreat. It was after the military arrived this morning, when the robbers had already left, that the travelers summoned courage to continue with their journey. Images of the stranded travelers and their buses can be seen below.

How did the robbers get to escape?

Hope no life was lost.is this the return of armed robbery during Night journeys?, no one goes around with cash anymore . or if they want to rob the passengers of thier phones and luggage. this recession is really hitting hard.

I TRUST 9JA POLICE.....na to dey arrest boys with Iphone 6s dy sabi wella

they should enter plane n no story

Everybody seems to be blocking the road these days. Pandemonium everywhere.

I see one who steal dupe or embezzled Govt funds as a lowlife

But I though those luxusry buses used to carry armed escorts. Why dem dey fear

God save us.

It is well. God help our country

Lalasticlala The Country needs to know about this...

I pray they get home safe and sound

HungerReallyBad

ok

They robbed 11pm this night, Police come crime scene by 3 am the next morning.

I am not understanding

Stranded

That's why we need to have the right to own guns, if the state cant do it for us.

Think about how easy it would be to control this situation if the state was honest and zealous. They could have deployed the nearest helicopter available, 10-20 mins travel time and you already have a recon air craft. I don't even want to talk about drones, cause that is just pushing it, for our 10th century police force.

If you can't have rapid responses and perform critical operations, then please give us guns.

Just look at how many people are scared here, just because of probably some 5-10 thugs with guns. If half of these people here were packing small to serious heat, then lets see what will happen na

I'm just remembering those seized shotguns from customs now, meeen, I need one or two of those bad boys.

I dont think its still legal to carry armed escort, someone correct me if am wrong.. Even one escort with an AK 47 will find it difficult holding off a gang of robbers..

not any more

Nigeria is a country where anything goes.

Very true. They used to but most escorts were the first victims. They were sitting ducks. The escorts were armed police men.
