Residents of Dejuwogbo community, Oke-Ota Ona, Ikorodu, have been thrown into panic after bandits pasted threat notice in the neigbourhood informing them of impending attacks.
Landlords and tenants are said to have temporarily relocated from their homes after waking up last Saturday to posters masked armed men pasted in strategic points in the community.
The bandits threatened to attack the community on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and demanded maximum cooperation.
The notice read: “Team 13. Dejuwogbo CDA. Expect us 24, 25 & 26 December, 2020. Maximum cooperation or head would roll (sic).”
A resident disclosed the threat had been reported to the police at the Igbogbo Police Station and they promised to do something about it.
He said, “We woke up to the notice on Saturday morning. They pasted the posters across the community but they are more prominent in some parts. Two were pasted on the wall of a mosque. They didn’t paste them at the main entrance where our security men could have easily seen them. Some people are suspecting that insiders might be involved.
“The tension has been very high. If you get to our community by 8pm, you may not see anybody outside again. Some people have relocated temporarily. Some would come home in the morning and leave in the evening. On our own, we are putting gates at some points and installing security gadgets.”
