Armed robbers raid computer village
About 40 armed robbers invaded the computer village in Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday April 1st and made away with goods worth about N11.5 million. The robbers armed with sophisticated weapons, were said to have arrived at about 1am with 4 vehicles, including 2 trucks and a pick van and made away with cartons of assorted cell phones, computers and other accessories. They operated till about 4pm after the police appeared on the scene. Reports say the robbers escaped after overwhelming the police. No one was killed in the raid.

  3. Congrats to dessy o. May God almighty be with mother and twins o. Na so so babies our nollywood celebs dey born these days. May we too get there soon o.

    As for d Lagos state house, all i can is, even Tony Blair no get up to half of all dat's listed at 10 downing street. Half of dat money should've been used to improve our roads and NEPA. IMO, for a governor's residence, it's way too over d top abeg.

    D Nigeria Police Force is a disgrace, it's nothing to write home about. I'll even suggest dat d army should take over from them sef. D so-called police r even more way-ward than d robbers themselves. It's a damn shame really.

    May Francis's soul rest in peace
