Residents of Mafowoku Street in Alapere, Lagos Mainland are
fleeing their homes after armed robbers held them hostage on
Tuesday night, carting away their valuables.
The robbers were said to have stormed the street around
12:30am and went from one building to the other, cutting
burglary proofs and breaking doors.
A motorcyclist, Sani Lawan, was said to have sustained a head
injury.
It was gathered that the hoodlums succeeded in raiding about
seven houses before fleeing around 3:30am when they noticed
policemen have arrived the neighbourhood.
Among the compounds raided were 1a, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9, with
several phones, laptops, gold jewelleries and money carted
away.
The Nation gathered that most of the residents fled the street in
the morning for fear of another attack. The criminals were said
to have beaten some of their victims, tied up seven security
men and locked them inside a guard room, with two armed men
watching over them.
According to the residents, the robbers attempted to rape three
women in one of the houses.
A banker, Noah Yusuf who said they collected four phones, his
wristwatch and a N5,000 cash from his apartment, added that
the robbers attempted to rape his wife and her sisters.
He said: “They asked my wife and her sisters to take off their
clothes and were about raping them when they heard gunshot
from the police. That was how God saved all three women from
being raped. They fled my apartment. Escaped through the back
fence and landed on the roof of a hotel on Momodu Street.
They took their time in robbing us and they were calling
themselves MOPOL.
“It took the police about two to three hours to get here but I am
still thankful they arrived just in time to stop the robbers from
raping my wife and her sisters. The police should be able to fish
out the suspects. There should also be regular patrol in this
area. It was a terrifying experience.”
A woman, Mrs Taye Ilesanmi said she was praying when they
smashed her door, adding that she immediately ended the
prayers and faced down.
“They climbed the iron bar holding the water tank and from
there, they jumped into the balcony. Then, they broke my door
and slapped my 12-year-old daughter. After robbing us of our
phones and money, they left my house and went to the next flat.
The robbers took their time and I think they are people who
know this area very well.”
