Residents Wake Up In Shock As Thieves Steal 11 Generators Overnight In Lagos by Rebuker(op): 1:56pm On Sep 26
Thieves Sneak Into Ogombo Compound Overnight, Steal 11 Generators

Residents of Ogombo, Lagos State, are crying out after thieves reportedly sneaked into their compound overnight and stole 11 generators.

One of the residents, who showed the tyres on which some of the generators were placed, revealed that 11 generators were stolen in total — all from the same compound.

The video has attracted plenty of reactions, with many people wondering how such a large number of generators could be stolen from the same compound in one night.

In the short video, several other generators can also be seen still sitting around the compound. The resident explains that those ones were left behind because they are the heavier generators.

The incident has also raised another interesting question: how many generators are actually in this compound? Despite losing 11 generators, there are still several others left behind.

While some people believe the compound must be quite large to accommodate so many generators, others are wondering what it must sound like when several generators are running there at night.

Watch the video and let us know what you think in the comments.

Up NEPA. Tinubu has given a marching order to Nigerians to vote him out as he has failed to provide them with constant electricity. Voting out Tinubu is every sane Nigerian's responsibility. All Promises Cancelled political party wants to take Nigerians back to stone age. We no go gree.

This not a news. Go and check the carcass of your generators at any bolla site within the area.

Truly, Nigeria is a generator republic. You can begin to imagine the volume of noise pollution in that compound.

Let no one mention tulumbu name in this, it's not really showing that he's aware that the country is this hard and difficult....

To the issue at hand, it's an inside job....

Naija is forever an interesting place. This is an inside job until proven otherwise.
Re: Residents Wake Up In Shock As Thieves Steal 11 Generators Overnight In Lagos by deebrain(m): 4:16pm On Sep 26
Clearly an insider operation.

The police should enjoy investigating this one.

Even the Op and the first to comment must be questioned.

Tinubu sent the thieves via his crushing dehumanizing politics and policies

But what were the stolen generators in Lagos for, after all, Tinubu's Power Minister said Nigerians are now begging him to take it softly with supply of excess electricity?

Administration built on lies.

Re: Residents Wake Up In Shock As Thieves Steal 11 Generators Overnight In Lagos by Kingpele(m): 4:22pm On Sep 26
Some of these things are too shameful to post online...citizens now depend on generators to power their homes and businesses...Mr bulabu even increased their sufferings by making fuel more costly without providing electricity he promised during his campaigns ,he will use it to campaign for 2027 re election

There is definitely someone in that compound that collaboed in this grand theft. This season of extreme hunger, people can steal anything to survive. I hope the perpetrators are caught.

There's light these day. It's possibly the reason those thieves were able to st£al all those generators. If the generators were running at the time they were stolen, it would be difficult to ste@l them.
Re: Residents Wake Up In Shock As Thieves Steal 11 Generators Overnight In Lagos by Mirasteel: 4:27pm On Sep 26
Criminals these days are too bold, imagine stealing 11 generators at once.

Why would anyone leave their gen in the open like that if truly there has been light?

It's obvious that the generators were there overnight. And most likely the owners used them and turned them off in the night and then went back to sleep.

So your logic is flawed here.

If light don steady, no be to pack your gen inside house?
