Militants' attacks: Lagos residents put up houses, lands for sale Some residents of riverside communities in Lagos State are selling off their lands and houses in fear following attacks by suspected Niger Delta militants in the areas, Saturday PUNCH has learnt.

But during a visit to the communities, our correspondents learnt that the residents had gone beyond fleeing the troubled communities to selling their houses, lands and other properties in panic.

A real estate agent, Ojo Alaso, told one of our correspondents that he had been approached by at least three people, whom he had helped to buy lands in the areas.

When our correspondents visited the office of the Olomu family, a man who was later identified as the Olori Ebi (family head), explained that he had been receiving reports about people putting their houses up for sale.

A community leader and rights activist in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid being killed by militants, told Saturday PUNCH that a man simply identified as Aroso Alajo (a popular thrift collector) wanted to sell his three-bedroomed house.

Findings by Saturday PUNCH showed that a good number of landlords had already put their houses up for sale fearing that the militants might strike again anytime.

Though there are no "To Let" boards on the properties, our correspondents learnt from reliable sources within the estate that many properties were already put up for sale and the owners were ready to sell them at any reasonable price.

"People don't have to move out of the areas, the Lagos State Police Command is on top of the situation," spokesperson for the police in Lagos, Dolapo Badmos told Saturday PUNCH.

This thing ìs getting out of hand

May God help our country. This country needs supernatural assistance.

It time for revolution. This country is going down by the day. It is risky to seat and don't do anything about it.
I mean all should arise, even clerics should have newspapers on their right hand and Guns on there left. People stand up in strength not in faith any more.

I pity for Nigeria! Seriously. If a whole Lagos can be penetrated and affected, then I fear for any other parts of the country.
