I wonder how our Police force define swift reaction? Maybe an hour late to a robbery scene is swift. I thought sharp response like 10 to 15 minutes should be tagged swift reaction
Well from report reaching us, the police took more than an hour to get there.
May God help us in Lagos and Nigeria by extension

Nigerian police and lies.
Where did they react swiftly?
We are just at the mercy of God in this country.
We will be better with boys scout and man-o-war than. The NPF.
White lies from the police as always when they turned down all the calls only to arrive after the robbers have gone 30 minutes later.

You dont need to be in the secret service or intelligence agency to know it's thsee same guys that came to lekki in march.same costume same escape plan. Same BS story. Can't understand why the NPF needs to be bitten more than once to be twice shy. And the freaking Nigerian military be harassing innocent civilians just for wearing a camo. And here is total impersonation and a slap to the face of their career. How sad.

NPF be like remain calm we are investigating the issue. Several of the thieves have escaped with bullet wounds and we gave arrested the babalawo who makes charms for them.


The above would be followed by a blurred pic of a man sitting on the floor with charms , a motor bike and a locally made danegun beside him.











NPF even if you have to lie at least upgrade.

FROM THE STORIES NO MENTION OFTHE OFFICERS ATTACHED TO THE BANK.DOES IT MEAN THERE WAS NO POLICE SECURITY ON A STREET WITH 2 BANKS. WHERE ARE THEY WHEN THEY STUCK. IT LOOKS LIKE A COMPLICITY TO ME. EACH BANK IS SUPOSE TO HAVE SAY 3 - 4 OFFICERS ON DUTY.

AMBODE AND THE FORTY ROBBERS!
Forty (40) armed robbers in broad daylight in Festac? This is a serious situation.

Governor Ambode as the chief security officer of Lagos state must be made to explain the degenerating security situation in Lagos state.

What about the woman and her child that died? No mention of that. Nigerian police smh!

Sister you still think Nigerians matter to these people? There is no lie in what they said. "No life was lost ON BOTH SIDES" Meaning on the side of the police nd that of the rubbers!
Re: Lagos Police Issue Press Statement On Festac Robbery Incident On Facebook by bankyman(m): 8:53pm On Oct 13, 2015
I really dont understand why we cant understand simple statements like the one made by the police. I am not in support but reactions to their statement is really baffling. "They said no life was lost on both sides".

Are they wrong because a baby and the mother got shot? Whose side is the baby and the mother?

They meant neither the police not the robbers lost any of their colleague. The statement contained nothing about the rest of us all. Shikena!

What is wrong with us all?

Police said the thieves abandoned 27m naira while news had it that the succeeded in d robbery

Ok o! Tmrw, d robbed banks will release their own statement. Just wait and see

Finally, NPF will capture some nigerians innocent of the crime, beat d hell out of them to agree that they carried out the attack, just like in Falae's case. Shikenan cool
