Armed robbers write letter to streets in Palmgroove; say they are coming to raid (see letter)

Residents in some streets in the Palmgroove area of Lagos are currently living in fear after receiving a letter from armed robbers who said they are coming soon to raid them. (copy of the purported letter above). The letter which was sent to five different streets on Saturday September 6th, reads in part;
"Beware of the coming! Be on the look out in this area. Property owners are coming anytime from now. The gate men you have are not our problem. Our problem is how many resources do you have for us? August visitor must visit whether you like it or not. So expect August visitor when you did not expect. Surely August visitor shall visit just like the second coming of Jesus. It is turn by turn."
In the last line of the letter which is not clear, the armed robbers listed names of the street they plan to attack. They are Oseni street, Nkanna street, Odogbolu street, Ibiwoye Oba and Bode Thomas street.

Some residents in the area immediately contacted police and they sent some of their men to guard the streets for a few hours yesterday. The residents say they are so scared.

  41. Nigeria,my beloved country where everything is funny.Imagine armed robbers writing letters to come and rob.Funnily enough,they would come,rob successfully and go scot free.My advice for people in Palmgroove is that they should be prayerful because Naija Police cant be trusted.
    Same way boko haram operate in the North.Sending out flyers of their attacks and they will accomplish their mission.
    God bless Nigeria

  42. Cnt forget when they came to rob me and my neighbor this year I was so scared of death thinking how is my mum going to feel if this guyz shoot me they beat massively take away my property and 80,000 they are so heartless.

  43. SEE from intelligence point of View That letter may not have come from the armed rubbers the security in that area must have written that to scare the residents of the listed streets for the following reasons (1) maybe they are not well paid.(2) not paid promptly (3)The listed streets don't pay security money at all.(4)They have refused to join the Landlord Association or they are not cooperating with the association (5) The OPC in that area want to take over the security job of the listed Streets. NB: The afore mentioned points is just a suggestion/assumption i might be wrong but if those in that area can reason those 5 points i mentioned above and NON of them(my 5 reasons) is Applicable the their area/street, then they should be expecting their August visitor then

  51. There is no country in this world where robbers write letter before robbing the actual areas listed. Only in Naija.
    For the records robbers wrote letters to residents in Nushin sometime last year and robbed successfully for 3 weeks.

  61. this is no scam!!! it has happened before in some areas in ilupeju and the so called police did nothing about it. the armed robbers raided street to street. So this had better be taken serious

  63. Hahaha..this is too funny...sweardown

  64. This had better been a joke! Nkanna, Odogbolu? These are some of the poorest streets in the area (compared with Palmgroove estate). If dem go rob here, na to find small change give most of the residents. Plus, there used to be an OPC Office in Odogbolu (not sure if it's still there).

    ReplyDelete
  65. Did someone just say they should not be afraid and fast until God intervenes?!! What the hell is wrong with Nigerians? How many tragedies will it take for you guys to realize that God does not intervene for people that do not help themselves. Stop crying and fasting, and get up and do something! This is why Boko Haram, the government and ebola are wiping us out by the thousands, because all we ever do is fast and pray and wait for God to come down from heaven in armor and battle them for us... Nigerians get it together

    ReplyDelete
  66. hahahaha..what actually got my rib crackinq is the last report there whre it said ''Some residents in the area
    immediately contacted police and
    they sent some of their men to
    guard the streets for a few hours
    yesterday''
    So dat is to say the police only showed their presence for a FEW HOURS b4 leavinq for dia different pepper soup joint/beer joint..hmm,9ja police
