Lagos is gradually degenerating into a state of chaos, no thanks to the activities of rampaging criminals who are terrorising various neighbourhoods as the Covid-19 lockdown persists. Many of those victimised by the armed robbers have shared their ugly experiences.
People living in the city took to social media to express their shock on the events which kept them out of sleep last night.

Sleepless nights: It should be noted that these robberies are not only limited to commercial centres where most shops are currently under lock and keys. Residents have also been attacked in the middle of the night, as the criminals take away valuable items, including foodstuff which, by the way, have become quite expensive in recent times.
