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.

They are really armed robbers. See their write up. Meanwhile this should be taken very serious and maximum security provided within these areas 24/7 of the day. Police men should not slack ooo. Now is not the time to molest ordinary civilian. Now is time to act and show yourselves..!!

Armed Robbers these days be getting creative, like they have a copywriter among them. The repititive and cryptic style of this message will definitely scare the Beejeezus out of any receiver. Ok, Lagos Police Department (LAPD) over to you!

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

shaunjoze said...

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.

F.Y.F said...

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

Iyaa! They will come wen they don't expect it. They might visit in two months or so when they must have gotten over the letter. Naija police na two minutes work them De do and eye service, after that moment dey don run... God is d only one who can protect them always.

FUNNY ONE..@ THOSE THAT RESIDE IN PALMGROOVE, YOU NEED TO BE ON THE ALERT.SOME "GENTLE MEN ON THE HIGH WAY" WILL NEVER CEASE CRACKING ONE'S RIB.WHAT A FUNNY LETTER..I'M OUT OUT HERE.

MISS UNDERSTOOD said...

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.

that's serious

sexiest said...

in a country where there's law and order?

Dr. Ada said...

Hahahaha.... so funny. they should take it serz

Do not let any man cause you fear - God is mightier than all of these... yes protect yourself but don't allow fear in you... the armed robbers shall get caught!

If they eventually comes and leave safely then the IG of police and Lagos police chief must be sacked not just sacked arrested n jailed.

Anonymous said...

Lol•••This thief are physco but in my own opinion!I quess they mention the names of that street to get people distracted and the call of ordinary police is senseless••they should invite Special Antirobbery Rapid Squad(SARS)God Help Us#GiftedDiva#

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

Sidney Izulu said...

Threats like these are like licking sweet to Children of God. I call it cheap victory/testimony. Like my Pastor (Pastor David Ibiyeomie) would say, use scriptures like Job 5:12, John10:10, Psalms 55:15, and Rev 10:8-11 and declare that while they're yet thinking and planning they should all doe on the spot. It brings God NO glory for His Children to be robbed or shot. The enemy comes to steal, oil and destroy so anyone coming to do the same is of the devil. Treat such person like they were they devil. --- they deserve death but before they even strike. So rather than live in fear, let them take to a 3-day fast and pray death on every attacker, sponsor, informant, and the executors. That's all I have to say.

Sidney Izulu said...

Rather than just merely talk and say things like 'God forbid' or 'God no go gree' they should pray. God won't come down and hold guns for them. They have to work this one out themselves and have the victory by faith. See my last comment. That's how it's going to happen if they must stay alive.

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).

Anonymous said...

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
