Robbers storm Lagos market; cart away valuables
Armed robbers on
Friday stormed Iyana-Iba market in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos, carting
away phones and other valuables from roadside traders.
In what appeared
a daredevil robbery operation, the robbers stormed the junction and beat up
traders and passers-by who refused to part with their valuables.
Our correspondent
who was at the scene of the incident report that the robbers emerged from the
Igando axis of the road.
A roadside
trader who identified himself as Ifeanyi said the robbers shot into the air and
beat up many passers-by, robbing them of their phones.
A phone trader
who refused to have his name in print narrated how they broke into his shelf
and carted away his phones.
“We noticed
everybody was running and I ran too. The thief passed by, kicked at the glasses
and took away the phones,” he said amidst sobs.
Other petty
traders on the road were seen also lamenting the non-intervention of the
military operatives stationed at the Iyana-Iba roundabout.
