“See The Amazing Letter, Bandits Wrote To Ogun Communities”.
Eaglesforesight gathered that Residents of Olosan Community in Leme, Abeokuta, in Ogun State one day woke up to see a bizzare letter written to them by robbers informing them of a planned visit to their homes.
The Bandits communicated their intention to the residents by pasting notices on walls around the community.
They warned of dire consequences if the police are informed.
In the notice, the gang, which described itself as ‘Oga Oga’ meaning ‘ master of masters,’ threatened to kill residents who fail to keep money for them (robbers) during the impending robbery.
‘IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF OLOSAN COMMUNITY’.
‘WE THE BOSS OF BOSSES ARE COMING TO GREET YOU IN NO DISTANCE TIME , IF YOU LIKE, YOU CAN REPORT TO THE POLICE, THAT DOES NOT CONCERN US. WHOEVER WE VISIT AND REFUSE TO GIVE GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO US, SHALL BE KILLED OR THE PERSON MIGHT EVEN LOSE BOTH MONEY AND HIS LIFE.’

Since the notice was pasted, residents have been anxious, returning home early and locking their doors by 8 p.m.
The Community Development Association also engaged vigilante groups who patrol at night. Some of the residents have also engaged guards to keep watch on their homes and properties.
The chairman of the community, who identified himself as Alhaji Ajetokun, said the notice by the unknown robbers took them unawares.
He said police have been informed and the area is being patrolled at night by a police team.
