- Residents have been thrown into panic as armed robbers wrote a letter to the Ogun community.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that the residents of the Olosan community in Leme, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, are in a state of turmoil following the receipt of a letter purportedly written by armed robbers notifying them of an impending attack.
It was gathered that the armed robbers communicated their intention to the residents by pasting notice on walls around the Ogun community as they warned the inhabitants of dire consequences if the police are informed.
It was further learnt that the armed robbers, in the notice, threatened to kill residents who fail to keep money for them during the impending attack.
The notice read, “Important notice to residents of Olosan community.
“We the boss of bosses are coming to greet you in no distance time, if you like, you can report to the police, that does not concern us. Whoever we visit and refuse to give good amount of money to us, shall be killed or the person might even lose both money and his life,” the robbers wrote.
Confirming the written note, the chairman of the community, who identified himself as Alhaji Ajetokun, said the notice by the armed robbers took the residents unaware.
Ajetokun further stated that the police have been informed, adding that security operatives have been patrolling the area at night.
