Police alert Ogun community after letter from robbers

The Ogun State Police Command says it has taken steps to fortify Lambe community, after residents of the area received a letter from armed robbers informing them they were coming soon.
The residents woke up on Tuesday to find the short letter written in Yoruba language pasted on walls on Akin Akindele Street, Community Road and Jelili Popoola Street.
The letter, translated, reads, “You residents of this community, we greet you on your preparation. You will soon receive us your friends. If you like, inform the police or the vigilance group or OPC (members of the Oodua People’s Congress). You will only waste your lives.
“The most important thing is for you to cooperate with us by preparing to entertain us when we come. We are your friends, robbers.”
Our correspondent visited the area on Thursday and some of the residents, who vehemently refused to give their names, said they believed the suspected robbers and writers of the letters were individuals who knew the area well.
A landlord said he had ensured that he got the phone numbers of all security agents in the area on speed dial in anticipation of the attack.
A landlord, who said he would prefer to give a name by which nobody knew him in the area, Sikiru, told Saturday PUNCH that the robbers deliberately wanted to create panic first.
Spokesman for the state police command, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said one of the residents of the community had contacted him on the matter.
Adejobi said, “But I told them to go and report to the divisional police officer at Ajuwon. The DPO there will take all the necessary steps.
“The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, is also aware of the situation and had instructed that the DPO should do all that is necessary to protect the residents.
