Fear has gripped the ancient town of Ijebu-ode and its environs, as commercial activities in the town have been grounded, due to a letter purportedly written by armed robbers, which has also forced commercial banks in the city to down tools.
Sources said the banks had closed shop since Monday, following letters allegedly sent to some of them by suspected robbers.Some residents, who spoke anonymously, said the situation is inflicting more hardship on the people. What has compounded the situation is that most of the banks operate in one part of the town, which is volatile, when it comes to security.
“It is risky for business people like us to be travelling such long distance, just for banking transactions. What is the country turning into? Nowhere is safe anymore,” he said. “The Police are on ground to provide adequate security for lives and property. The Area Commander has met with the bankers and assured them of safety, but they have refused to open. If they are not opening after all this assurance, only they know what is making them so anxious… There is no reason to panic.”
It's the 'Why should they be afraid' for me... Come-on man I love what the banks managements are doing because noone can trust this stupid police Follow me I follow back instantly
