Ogun community cries out over incessant robbery attacks

Ideally Mobolorunduro community via Ijoko-Ota, Ogun State, would have been a most desired place to be given the once prevailing peace there. But this is presently not the case as peace has been forced into exile owing to incessant robbery attacks. Residents now live in palpable fear as criminal elements engage in a show of viciousness and superiority on constant basis.
Residents’ ordeal began about four months ago after they received threat letters from a robbery gang some of which were posted on strategic places. Residents had initially dismissed the threat this represented after law enforcement agents informed them that the situation was under control, assuring them of their safety.
So buoyed by this assurance from law enforcement agents, residents were virtually caught napping when the robbers launched a surprise attack on Thursday June 27, 2013. The gang of seven stormed Crown estate with various weapons around 2.30am and before anybody could realise what was happening, some families were seriously injured. The robbers carted away cash and valuable items, including laptops, electronics and handsets with monetary value put at millions of Naira.
