Four lives have reportedly been lost in the Kola area of Alagbado, an Ogun state outskirt following a brazen robbery operation there.
The Eagle Correspondent gathered that the whole matter started with heavy gun bombardment by hoodlums led by a fellow identified as One Million.
Residents who were observing the compulsory lockdown were stirred by sounds of gunshots once the One Million gang arrived.
It was not too clear what happened but our correspondent learnt that it snowballed into a confrontation with residents of Kola, Moshalashi, Alakuko, Dalemo, Agbado Crossing on the one side and the gang.
The source said the fracas cclaimed two lives at Kola and also the lives of two landlords were lost at Moshalashi.
According to the eye witness who pleaded anonymity, the sporadic gunshots forced shop owners to quickly close up and people hasting away.
He added that, the hoodlums were after money and foodstuffs and they were ready to do anything if not obliged.
It was also stated that people were currently outside with their weapons lying in wait for the robbers as at the time of filing this report.
The Federal Government has begun the conditional transfer of N20,000 in Lagos as part of efforts to reduce the effect of the coronavirus lockdown on residents of the state.
However, many people are already at their wits end, with family and household heads under intense pressure.

On my own side I am advising government to release people on Monday because those gang boys can do anything please
Hunger kills faster than anything.. I don’t blame those guys
Does it mean President Buhari knows of the existence of the terrorists?
Federal Government Should transfer money to everyone
It is when poor teenagers find nothing to eat, that they will start reasoning evil. What are our leaders’ plans towards the critical conditions the poor masses find themselves in? No intervention, no security, police always comes after robbers finish their operations. The poor are not safe, the rich always surround themselves with personal securities. Donations for the coronavirus have never reached/gotten to many masses while our leaders are still hijacking the donations being made to us. Those at the Federal level, why are you people so wicked and selfish? Ask yourselves after taking all the wealth and riches, where will you end your life? Without being told, be rest assured, you have built your home – @unfinished hell fire with endless punishment. Fools and demons. yours
Yes, true talk.
Only in Nugeria will you see a graduate struggle through school yet no job offer after graduation. And one idiot will be saying the goverments are trying just because he is part of the evil they are doing and benefiting from there.
Our vice president graduated as early as possible and became a professor at 33. Yet he was saying people are certificate-crazy. Now if he was not helped after graduation what will have become of him today?
However, go and check all their children and see where they are working. But they have seen other poor Nigerians as not having brains but should go and farm.
What a world
You are so right
Our government should do something about this it’s getting too much, it’s happening every where but in Lagos and Ogun states, no rest of mind’ I tire oooooo
