Burglars raided an apartment in Alausa Police Barracks, Lagos State, getting away with valuables such as jewellery, telephones and money.
Witnesses recounted that the crime took place last two Sunday at Alhaja Toheebat Dosunmu’s residence at officers’ block, flat six. The burglers went away without being apprehended considering it was a police barracks and this was one among many of the burglary successes that has been going on in the barracks.
Surrounding occupants disclosed to us that the burglary activity took place around 3am in the wee hours of the morning.
An occupant of the house, that preferred anonymity, said, “Around 3am on February 9, 2012, I heard a noise at the backdoor but there was power outage at the time so I quickly turned on the generator and went to see what was going on but I didn’t see anything.
“When it was daybreak, I heard Alhaja complaining that she could not find her things. We went back to the backdoor and noticed that it had been broken and the net was torn. The thieves made away with three phones, gold, money and other valuables before fleeing.”
It was learnt that such burglaries had become common in the area as many other residents had been victims in recent times.
An occupant of another flat disclosed to us that the last time the thieves attacked his block, they stole three laptops, phones and money, adding that the matter had been reported at the Alausa Police division.
Some residents told our correspondent that security was lax in the barracks which had given miscreants leeway to operate.
When contacted on the telephone, the deputy police public relations officer, Damascus Ozoanni, said he had not been briefed on the incidents.
Hmmm..... i thought it was a police barracks. If they can rob inside police barracks without being apprehended, i don't know what will then happen outside.
