IBADAN – RESIDENTS of Mokola area of Ibadan now live in fear as a result of incessant robbery attacks on them. Most of the attacks are carried out in the day or at night leaving their victims injured or wretched. Though, there is a police station in the area, most of the attacks are carried out unhindered.
Many companies, supermarkets, law chambers in the area have been reportedly robbed without any arrest made.
Last Friday, some robbers attacked Anjolaoluwa Building at plot 8, block 15, opposite Celestial Bus-stop, Mokola, which houses Ibadan zonal office of Vanguard Media Limited for several hours without being challenged by the police in the area.
A resident in the area said he made several calls to the police and the anti-robbery squad tagged, ‘Operation Burst’ but no response came until the robbers had carried out the attack.
Though no one was injured during the attack, property worth over N10million was carted away by the rampaging robbers.
Vanguard gathered that when the police appeared much later after the first robbery attack, they left the scene thinking the robbers had gone. But, minutes later, the robbers came back to pack the remaining items from the Samsung office which they raided.
When Vanguard called the Police Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Okuwobi, on phone on the incident, her phone was switched off.
