| Where was Nigeria policemen while the robbers operated? |
An armed robbery gang robbed for hours in various parts of Lagos State between Sunday evening and Monday morning, using the vehicle of an abducted businessman, Mr. Uche Ochuriuzor. Unfortunately for Mr Uche, the deadly robbery gang took him round during the robbery spree.
Mr Uche said the robbers held him for the 17 hours that their robbery operation lasted, adding that the ease with which they operated with impunity was shocking.
He said, “I was driving home around Idimu at 7:30pm when a gang of armed robbers attacked me. The robbers, numbering about eight or 10, came in a vehicle and some of them entered my SUV.
“They pushed me into the boot and drove off. The robbers were speaking in both Yoruba and Igbo languages. They said they were after Toyota Camry and Toyota Sienna vehicles. At a point, they (robbers) attempted to snatch a Camry but ended up shooting and killing the occupant of the vehicle. They however did not snatch the car because a bullet had damaged one of the tyres.
“The robbers later snatched a Sienna and then drove to Ajah where they robbed and then drove to a beach around 2am. The robbers later went to relax in the beach where they were enjoying themselves."
Mr Uche, who was locked up in the boot of his Toyota Sequoia after the robbers had fled, was later rescued by passersby who were attracted by his continuous shout for help.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident to the Punch on the telephone, said investigations were ongoing. She added that the victim was held incommunicado thus making it difficult for him to get in touch with the police.

@ Larry, robbery incidents were hardly heard of prior to the ban on okada in Lagos. Now armed robbery is being reported on a daily basis. This present scenario has punctured the idea by the Fashola administration that robbers can only rob with okada. PATMAN
