[s]Robbers early Thursday morning invaded streets in Ejigbo community in Lagos State, western Nigeria.

During the three-hour attack, they forced one of their victims to serve them food before they began their operation.

They reportedly sat in the sitting room and were served eba (food made from fried cassava paste) and soup which they ate before they started the operation.

The armed men stormed Adenuga and Joseph streets at about 1.30 am and carted away money and valuable properties belonging to residents.
According the victims, the operation lasted till 4.30 am.

P.M.NEWS gathered that for some weeks now, the residents of Ejigbo have not known peace due to incessant robbery attacks in the area.
Many homes in the area have witnessed several attacks by robbers who cart away their money and valuables.

P.M.NEWS gathered that some of the streets affected are Fayemi, Surprise Avenue, Oboye, Joseph and others.
At Surprise Avenue, many shops were broken and items looted by the robbers.

It was learnt that the robbers also waylay residents in the early morning and evening and force them to part with their valuable items at gun point.

At Fayemi and Dorcas streets as well as Idimu road, many residents have lost their valuables such as handsets, necklace, money and others to the robbers.

A victim who resides at Joseph street said the robbers stormed their house, forced the door open and tied some people and locked them in one of the rooms before ransacking everywhere.

“Three of them who entered our sitting room ordered our mum to serve them food which she did. Thereafter, they ransacked the whole house and stole N100,000, handsets and other valuables and left,” the victim said.

When our correspondent visited the area, the residents confirmed the incident and said robbery attacks have become rampant in the area.
A resident revealed that the robbers were between the age of 15 and 20 and were suspected cultists.

Apart from robbers, there are several local fruadsters known as 419 prowling the area and defrauding innocent residents, P.M.NEWS learnt.
When our reporter visited the police station, the DPO was not around to comment on the matter.

Police sources confirmed the incident and blamed the residents for not providing useful information to the police to combat the crime in the area.[/s]

Please your urgent response is needed.

agabaI23:
And who probed NNPC during OBJ? Who looked at the account under him?

The Madueke stuff is still propaganda until you arrest her and convict her. The local content law and PIB your Buhari is trying to kill was her work.

Nigerians do not know what they need. A president cannot function effectively as the petroleum minister. It is an avenue for corruption. Who will he be reporting to? Himself? No one to check his activities....abeg

agabaI23:
Haha. Your body odour will do the job. Kai! Back to the days OBJ. Who is deceiving who?

EgusiSoup:
I carefully watch Mr. President addressed world leader during the UN General assembly, and I couldn't help but feeling sorry for Nigeria as a nations. A well prepare speech which his media aids have made for him and he just go there and starting reading like he was read an long boring story, steady looking up and down from the paper to the camera to a nearly half empty hall where those seating was find it hard to understanding one word from what he is reading, even me a Nigerian and a Northerner with distinction in linguistic does not understanding the English he was spoke.

President Obama deliver a one in a million speech without cramming or read any pre-prepared book and he making a lot of sense in a sharp contrast to the President of the most populous black nation in earth who was busy looking up and down for the camera to a paper, as if he was read a story book. How does all those media aids did all these things to the President?

Please no insulting and only constructive criticizing. What does you think about the speech gave by the President in the UN summit?

The floor have open.

In as much as i would like to see Joy Ogwu sacked or be recalled by the federal government for her incompetency and for deliberately sabotaging Buhari's itineraries which, in turn, led to a gargantuan embarrassment on the person of my beloved President, it's not possible. Though her tenure expires in December 2015, which is barely two months from now. The emboldened, in my opinion, means she can't be sacked or recalled by the federal government. Read below



NB - This is my opinion, and also to educate those calling for her sack. For the bigots on here, you can insult me all you want, but i'll not be replying

otunsman:
Sanusi was suspended for the mismanagement of cbn fund.Remember he donated #100m to idps without approval.When he was query about it he started saying #20b Nnpc money was missing.So if emefiele does the same he would face the same fate.But if not he remains the cbn gov until his tenure expires.

otunsman:
Cbn govship position is not a hire and fire appointment.The gov of cbn will complete his four year tenure like the president.

omolami:
Buhari has been postponing the nomination of ministers because he is afraid Saraki will not confirm some of his nominees. Buhari dare not forward names like Zakari or Fowler. This are dead on arrival, because those are detaste even by the generality of Nigerians.

eleven:
Smh at our president's picture presentations without content. See sample of what a more serious government would rather want its citizens to know on how their collective wealth is being spent.

Please compare and contrast. Who is more serious in governance?

chukwudi44:
Don't mind them, next week will be time for Saraki to take his own pound of flesh

Toks2008:
That is just the point and if this guy survives the heat trust me, i wont be surprised if he decamps to PDP in the wake of 2019 general election but i know that BUKOLA SARAKI CAN NEVER EVER EVER BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA so let him keep that ambition away.

My only fear is that this man is so ambitious that no one knows the length he could go to unseat Buhari and Osinbanjo before the end of this present dispensation.

Klinee:
lagos belong to all and everybody pay equal taxes. Then why exempting one particular tribe? Its unfair!

Winning123:
You must be blind if you haven't seen anything. Mumu go to Iyana Ejigbo and see what the man is doing

3kay945:
Yea, but not high tension wire.

happney65:
How he take know say na 10Years he don dey hin house?Yeye Talk

wunmi590:
Yes you are right my brother, but we just have to accept our fate till he finished his first term and vote in another party even if the candidate is from another party apart from PDP.

I hope we would be able to get another fashola, that guy bight have his bad time, but he was the best, I got admission into ND, HND and PGD under his regime and I got my complete bursary as a lagoscian, even where I stay on island, the man has re modify that place to a better place.

wunmi590:
Just love this man's dressing, he very neat and clean.

BTW: see as him chick be like person wey put puffpuff for mouth.

I never said Jonathan 55% in South West. Read again. Now lets do the mathematics for the South West...

APC
1. Oyo - 528,620
2. Ondo - 299,899
3. Osun - 383,603
4. Ogun - 308,290
5. Ekiti - 120,331
6. Lagos - 792,460

TOTAL- 2,433,203

Kano(APC) - 1,903,999

Difference = 529,204. This is what separates the entire South West votes from what Buhari got in Kano state alone. Now, would you care to tell us the big deal of votes Buhari got in the entire South West?

If we're looking at spread visavis general acceptability across the regions, Jonathan did better. Jonathan got more in the North than Buhari got in the South East and South South. The only difference is that Buhari got mind-boggling number of votes from the North and we all know how it went down there.

Please lets get our facts right.

RichDad1:
Fair enough. The most culpable are the container carrying trailers.

fx45:
Jonathan got more than 45% of the votes in the South West... That wasnt a bad performance. The real damage was done in the North

The total number of votes Buhari got in the entire South West isn't as much as what he got in Katsina state alone for example. I do not want to mention Kano

Mbilla:
Ur very s.t.u.p.i.d for saying dat. Other Africans countries are supporting there own even whn they are not doing well. Urs especially Yorubas are to pull down who ever is not from their tribe

chukwudi44:
APC will only be dead in the SW without Tinubu!!,the local champion does not wield any influence outside the four APC states in region.Even in a SW state like Ekiti,he cannot even influence the election of a common councillor
