A gang of robbers had reportedly invaded Chika Phase 3 last week, an adjoining street, and dispossessed residents of their mobile phones, television sets, cash, among others.
According to report, a resident of Aleyita, Hakeem Azeez, said that incident made them to be on the alert.
The resident said one of the suspects died while engaging residents in a fight.
He said, ‘’They came around 6am and were jumping from one house to the other. It was like a movie, as one of them was walking on people’s roofs.
‘’One was caught while struggling to go away with some of the things stolen from people. Two others were given a hot chase and apprehended.
“One of those they went to rob engaged them; they fled when other residents joined; but one stayed put and tried to fight them, instead of surrendering. He was, however, overpowered, leading to his death.
“I want to plead with the police to investigate properly and apprehend others. The attack on our area is getting out of hand.”
