Weird:HOW Robbers Raided Eight Lagos Streets, Destroyed 30 Cars....

There were fears and tension in the Mushin area of Lagos State on Monday morning after about 60 robbers operated on no fewer than eight streets and destroyed about 30 vehicles.Some residents told our correspondent that the robbers also raped some young ladies and operated unchallenged for about seven hours. The hoodlums, who reportedly belonged to two cult groups – Akala boys and Toheeb’s gang – ravaged New Balogun, Euba, Ayonuga, Tiamiyu, Haruna, Ereko, Oyedele streets and Coker Lane.A mosque on Coker Lane was not spared as the worshippers, who slept in the mosque after a vigil, were robbed by the hoodlums.

One of the people in the mosque told Kayefi that the robbers fired bullets for over one hour before robbing from house-to-house.He said, “It was around 12am on Monday morning that we started hearing gunshots. It lasted for about an hour.Around 1am, they started going from house-to-house, robbing the occupants. They stole about seven laptops from the house opposite this mosque. They stole phones, money and everything they saw. They came inside the mosque and took our phones and money. People were crying throughout the night. It was terrible.”
Another witness said the robbers were not in a haste. He said they robbed till 5am and came back at 6am to continue before leaving around 7am.Our correspondent observed that a generator was also removed from its shed by the robbers. Vehicles parked on the streets were vandalised by the robbers, just as two Toyota Hilus van were burnt.Our correspondent counted 20 vehicles, but some residents said about 10 damaged cars had been taken away by their owners for repairs.
