| Lagos CP, Fatai Owoseni |
Fatoki community in the Egan, Igando
area of Lagos State, has been deserted, after no fewer than 100 gunmen
attacked the area in a three-day onslaught.
PUNCH Metro learnt that during
the siege, the gunmen, suspected to be militants, shot three residents
and looted shops and homes in the community.
Aside carting away drinks, including herbs, the men reportedly stole generators, televisions, laptops and refrigerators.
It was learnt that the robbers entered into the community through the waterways.
Our correspondent gathered that the
community was bordered by water, which made it susceptible to attacks
from militants who lived in the surrounding creeks.
When our correspondent visited the
community on Thursday, he observed four families locking their houses
and hurrying out of the area with their loads.
One of them, a trader, who was still in shock, declined comment.
A resident explained that the trader had been robbed two times in the three-day siege.
The resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the community had been peaceful until two months ago.http://punchng.com/100-gunmen-attack-lagos-community-loot-property/
