According to Lagos State governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, the visit of Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan to Lagos yesterday, March 12, 2015 was to blame for the success of the robbery attack in the Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos.
According to him, all the vehicles the state government bought for the Lagos State Police Command as well as the officers had been moved to the Stock Exchange, Marina, Lagos area to protect the President.
Speaking at the Buhari Meet Entertainers Programme in Lagos yesterday, Fashola said: ‘Today is a very sad day because this afternoon we lost three policemen to the robbery in Lekki and it was the first of its kind in a long time. And I also know that perhaps what will be would have been but it was sad to see all our security vehicles deployed to protect one man. All the vehicles we bought for the police were stationed to receive the President in Lagos while the citizens were left vulnerable. Those policemen have children. Their mothers will be have to explain to them why daddy is not coming home. May their souls rest in peace.’
