So true! To put this robbery incident in perspective, let's hope the billionaires and politicians in Lekki and it environs pause for a minute and reflect on how their theft of the nations resources is causing thousands of Nigerians - especially in the North East, to experience daily, what they just experienced today.

Not everyone living in phase 1 is a politician that stole the nation's resources. Where would you expect the Mobil staff, Chevron staff to live? How about the entrepreneur that had a good business idea and made it? Or your entertainers that buy Bentleys and stuff to stay?

In other words, just pray for God to bless your (legitimate) hustle and work harder and you can actually own a house there. Then, you will understand why it would hurt for someone to knock your hardwork and call it stealing the nation's resources.

Fools. Why don't they go to Borno and fight Boko Haram if they're feeling so tough. They're all Bastards and will all die before the end of this year. Amen.

We should be a bit fair to them. No matter what, they risk their lives to stay on the line of fire. Any corruption you see in the Police is a result of our rotten society and rottenness in government.

I'm sure by now you must have seen the pictures of the Police Officers that died during the shootout. Its must feel so embarrassing to learn that they stood firm & gave up their lives so that Lagosians can live free. Learn to appreciate them please...

Exactly around 4:52pm on today I heard gunshots along Admiralty way, Lekki phase 1, Lagos as suspected armed robbers are attacking one of the banks along the street.

Everyone around had to run for their lives as no one knows where the bullets are will land. Even the Lekki Ikoyi Toll gate was on a stop.

Watching from my rooftop, I saw people coming out of their vehicles by the toll gate and are running for their lives. The shooting lasted for about 20mins. All I hear now is police sirens everywhere around.

If you're coming to this axis kindly turn back for now! It's not secure at the moment. Cheers!
no pix, y now? God pls av mercy on us ooh.

Lekki Phase One is becoming a beehive center with so many entertainment spots left and right. Mansions being converted into business plazas etc ...celebrities renting and 'owning' virtual houses, flaunting wealth etc here in Lekki. Any surprise what happened today? The serenity of the whole area has now been severely abused. undecided

Btw ...there is a standby police post at the Lekki Phase One gate with an armored van parked there wonder why no response from them .... undecided I guess they were busy with the usually N20 they collect from drivers.

Makes me wonder ...just some blocks away are MoPol officers at the CBC Towers as well as at the entrance to the link bridge ...why no response? Leaves much to imagine. I guess Uncle Mbu will now start avenging with the 'Kill One Police Man .....Twenty Civilians' formular undecided

RIP to the dead.

Not Stanbic ...FCMB is just next building away. Where you have the Adidas store. I doubt if they got into the banking hall proper as its protected with the revolving glass door. The broken glass door is just the entrance to their customer service officers' area pool and their ATM gallery.

To think I almost went there today but thank God their Internet Banking platform behaved at the last minute. May God protect us all. May we (friends and families) NEVER be at the wrong place during this period in Jesus Name. Amen

Isn't that Stanbic IBTC bank? Oh please, let it not be Stanbic!

I was right at the scene and saw the robbers get away in a large speed boat with bullet proofs and life vests

Op was right about the timing but it actually took like 33 minutes with policemen and civilians running for cover

Thsi is not the first time Banks have been robbed on Admiralty , I remember when UBA was robbed about 6 years ago , suprisingly then they used used the same entry and exit point near the old dredgers just like the robber today
