I wish to bring to your notice about the menace of thefts exhibited at Iju Ishaga. It is a very serious malaise plaguing my neighbourhood.
There are regular reports of shops being burgled and goods stolen.
One of the cases occurred last year. A woman newly acquired a shop, and after a month, thieves came to steal her goods which included foodstuffs worth thousands of Naira; her freezer and other things in the shop. This is one out of many cases of the menace.
Another happened last month: a shop was also burgled, and a television was stolen
Another issue is pick-pocketing and snatching of bags and purses or anything in one’s hands. And as a result of these, residents or shop keepers are forced to close early for business each day.
I am therefore requesting the intervention of the government and police on how this threatening situation of theft in the area it could be curbed. Reports have been made,but no response.

Yours sincerely,
