The residents of an apartment in Ogombo, Ajah area of Lagos State have lost valuables to armed robbers who fled with the stolen items in a Toyota Venza belonging to one of the victims.
This is just as the police at the Ogombo division were accused of demanding N300,000 to track the car.
Davey Quid, who claimed to be one of the victims, in a short video of the attack posted on his Twitter handle @daveyishigh, showed different parts of the apartment in shambles as there were several bullet holes on a bed in one of the rooms in the flat.
“Laptop, phone, everything; they carried everything; everything,” someone lamented in the background while filming the rooms.

In two separate tweets accompanying the video and pictures of the stolen car, @daveyishigh stated that they approached police at the Ogombo division to help fine the car but they demanded N300,000 for ‘mobilisation.’
“Armed men came to my crib; stole laptops, phones and even took the car of my guy that came to visit me… Ogombo division kept mocking us and telling us we deserved it because we ended SARS….they’re demanding N300,000 to help search for the missing car.
“They sent us out of the station because we couldn’t provide them N300,000. We even begged them with N100,000 but all fell on deaf ears,” Quid wrote in one of the tweets.
Meanwhile, the police denied demanding money to track the stolen car, claiming that one of the victims had distanced himself from the tweets.
The victim identified as Anthony Ojah, in a video, debunked the allegation at the police station.
In the video, Ojah stated that his home appliances and car were stolen, adding that the police were already assisting to recover them.
However, the police spokesperson in the state, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the robbery but refuted the allegation that the police demanded N300,000 for mobilisation.
