Your report was incorrect

Yes, our brother, Edwin Ekperigin, a complete gentleman was killed in this shooting. Does it mean that the press was not informed?
Sahara Reporters, please get the facts right when next you publish a thing like this because our hearts are bleeding over the death of our brother and the media is saying that no life was lost.

your report is incorrect

I would like to to point out that you were/are misinformed about nobody being killed. My brother Edwin Ekperigin was killed by the gunmen as they sped away from the scene. As he returned home in the early hours of the morning he came head to head with one of the robbers cars, unbeknownst to him what had transpired. His car was shot at and he died.

I pray and hope that this spree does not continue, if not for my family's sake for the sake of the people of Lekki.

First Media Coverage of a regular event

This is a weekly occurrence around oniru and Lekki ( right hand side).. Fashola opened up the area as alternative road to the Toll Plaza without provision for security and the ill equipped police is simply overwhelmed. We no longer sleep at night. Police too are persons like us, they do not want to die, poorly kitted, not well paid and without insurance covers.. The robbery gang usually tell their victims it's useless calling police. B4 this one about thirty robbers came to an estate. How did that large number mobilize without interception? .. failure of our intelligence system. The tank in the picture was moved all the way from Lekki 1 gate, shouldn't Fashola put additional tanks (modern ones not the clumsy crappy stuff) along the Oniru alternate road etc? A government that watches robbers killing citizens weekly, breaking down their houses, raping and maiming is no government, I'm sorry for Naija. The pictures here do no even tell the whole story. Shame

you are poor by choice

did anyone force you to be poor?

Why are there much wickedness in so called churches

In this days churches, there are so much wickedness. I worship in a church where everybody see another as the devil. The pastors play politics with the congregation, he tells them what he want them to hear and than steal the church money to enrich himself. So

A fool at your age is a fool for eternity.

Try reasoning before commenting on this platform. Your thoughts are so much in disarray that i am positive its a result of conflicting brain factions; no wonder someone has describe you a drunkard. Security is what good nations use their resources to nail. In this country, because we have so many half human beings like you in governance, our resources are only used for blackmail. What a cheat. To indict the flawless personality of the great general, they resort to cheap blackmail. Its shamefull, instead of using their resources to curb the insurgence, they are using the situation the insurgence has created to fight political oppositions. GEJ must be a joke. He certainly aint acting like a local council chairman talk more, a president.

WE NEED TO WATCH OUR BACK

The challenge of insecurity is becoming more alarming. This message is directly to The Minister of Aviation - Arik should be compelled to move to MMA2 in the interim pending the completion of the Local airport in Lagos. Checking in is very chaotic in that airport. Miscreants are extorting passengers on per second basis.
You can imagine the number of people that will die if these gunmen finds their way into that airport or even suicide bombers.
Tell all your loved ones not to use that airport until the Government does something about it.

Nightmare-What is happening to security in Lagos

Honestly, what happened was purely from the movies. What beats me is that is has been happening along VGC and Lekki axis for weeks and they police keeps coming when the deed has been done. This is a slight on Lagos State Govt, with all the good works and no security. Fashola should rise to the challenge and flush out all these robbers and also sanitizer the Lekki-oniru area where there are lots of miscreants with shanty houses. People deserve peace in Lagos that only when we can jointly say "wok oni bake" until then please everything is wrong as security is paramount to all else.

And now they have come for you!

The rich thought they were sitting pretty in their comfortable enclaves in Lekki, VI and environs. They were unconcerned with the plight of the poor. Why should they care if the poor man becomes ill and dies because of no health care, after all they can board a plane to Germany. Why should they care if the poor man's children have to go to uneducated schools, after all they can send their children abroad. Why should they care if the poor man is a victim of violence, after all they have the protection of armed guards, soldiers and police. Now! they have come for YOU!!!!

hi

what did they steal or did they just come shooting again

PRAY, IF THIS HAD BEEN A

PRAY, IF THIS HAD BEEN A POLITICAL RIOT, THE POLICE WOULD HAVE CALLED FOR BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. SOMEONE IS NOT DOING HIS JOB RIGHT. HOW CAN THE POLICE WHO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF ARMORED TANKS RUN AWAY FROM 15 ROBBERS WHO HAD NO ARMOURED TANK? WHAT MANNER OF "SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS" DO THEY HAVE THAT THE POLICE DON'T HAVE? AND WHY ARE WE SPENDING MILLIONS ON ARMOURED VEHICLES IF THEY CANNOT HELP THE POLICE IN A COMBAT OF THIS NATURE?

@Deri : Shut the Fack-up dia !!

@ Deri : Now you're hiding behind 'anonymous' to continue spewing your psychotic trash. One line from your warped mind and I will know. Fool, how many times did you call for the sack of Azazi the gun runner when he was misbehaving as the NSA? The army chief is now your wahala, I'm still here sucker! A lazy aborigine like you calling someone "lazy" is absurd, even claiming you know about his private life. Ogogoro & women, you must be an expert in them, that's all you fools are good for. Buhari by the way, is smarter than all of your Dumbo's might put together, see how he ducked your cheap Boko Haram trap? Quite frankly, your stupidity is worth a medal. A 'mugu's badge' of honour. Drunkard!

sack the army chief of staff the man is a thief

The work of Buhari and boko haram-time to sack the army chief of staff and the IGP-the man is so lazy, all he thinks of is the number of women he will take to bed-the IGP has been involved in extra marital affairs with married women for long yet he has not found it important to quit his job-the CIA director just resigned-not in Nigeria
