The robbers stepped onto the road wearing full military fatigues and carrying AK47s.
They came in, killed people, did their business, and made away on the speedboats that brought them to Lekki.
It was, to say the least, a disaster. A disaster genenrally, but one that became even more unfortunate with Fashola's using it to score political points and Kayswitch (that's a musician, we hear) using one of the victims as a point of contact to thank God for keeping him alive.
Like God plays favorites.
Vanguard newspaper has reconstructed the event in a publication below:
"...the gun-toting hoodlums proceeded towards their target. There was no doubt that their fire power was to clear way for the accomplishment of their mission. They entered by the lagoon into an empty but fenced land beside a shopping complex which borders FCMB and Stanbic Bank, IBTC, by the roundabout of the Lekki end of the bridge.
"They forced the miscreants in the empty plot of land to open the makeshift black gate entrance of the plot and burst out into Admiralty road and started shooting indiscriminately. That was how they succeeded in forcing their way into the banks.
POLICE VICTIMS
"Unfortunately, as soon as the hoodlums outside the banks sited some policemen in a white coaster bus, they released volleys of bullets towards their direction. The policemen were on escort duty with expatriates in the bus when they ran into the scene. Three of the policemen were felled while the expatriates were seated unruffled in the white coaster bus as the operation lasted.
