No Successful Robbery In Lagos Since I Took Over’.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Yakubu Alkali, has disclosed that there has never been a successful robbery operation in the state since he took over the as police boss in January this year
Alkali said although there have been series of attempts by robbers to break into bank vaults in the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, none of the attempted bank robberies has succeeded as his men were on ground to frustrate the robbers’ actions.
According to him, last week, dare-devil armed robbers attempted to rob Zenith Bank, Trinity Branch in Apapa. However, their devilish mission was effectively frustrated by a combined team of anti-robbery police officers drawn from the federal and state anti-robbery squads, who stormed the bank and engaged the robbers in a shoot-out.
At the end of the encounter, the devils in human skins were forced by the superior firepower of the police to flee the bank premises.
On the alleged looting of the Police Microfinance Bank in Ikeja by suspected robbers, the Lagos police boss denied the incident, saying that police officers are paid through e-payment method.
However, three principal staffers of the bank have been arrested in connection with the incident, which he said was an embarrassment to the state police command, even as independent checks revealed that some police officers were paid their September just last Tuesday at the microfinance bank.
