CCTV Footage Sparks Outrage as Armed Robbers Strip Cars in Lekki Estate
“Armed and Organised”: Nigerians React to Shocking CCTV Footage of Lekki Car Robbery
LAGOS, NIGERIA — Outrage and alarm have erupted across social media following the emergence of a CCTV recording showing armed men vandalising and stripping vehicles within a residential estate reportedly located in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
The footage, dated March 7, 2025, surfaced on Sunday via a Facebook post by Tope Fasua, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu. Fasua, who described the suspects as “smart-looking guys armed to the teeth,” said the video was obtained directly from one of the victims of the robbery.
“This video I got from a victim of very organised crime. These are armed robbers who also stripped cars somewhere in Lekki 1. They were caught on CCTV but are probably still at large. I hope they are apprehended. Watch their every movement,” Fasua wrote.
In the video, the suspects are seen operating in a calm and coordinated manner—dismantling parts of high-end vehicles without any interference. One moment in the footage shows them adjusting the CCTV angle, fuelling widespread speculation of possible insider involvement.
Public Reactions: “Where Is the Security?”
The viral post triggered a flood of reactions from concerned Nigerians, many of whom questioned estate security protocols, the efficacy of law enforcement, and the lack of forensic investigation.
“This is almost a month since the incident. Why hasn’t there been any public update or arrest?” wrote Dapo Kale, who advocated for the Nigeria Police Force to adopt proper crime scene processing techniques, including fingerprint collection and biometric scanning through the NIN and BVN databases.
Another commenter, Tunde Alabi, echoed suspicions of insider collaboration, stating, “The way they avoided the cameras and shifted them upward—this was clearly premeditated. Where were the security guards?”
“Follow the Car Parts Market”
Some commenters, like Wisdom E. Nwansi, focused on the demand chain for stolen parts: “Who is buying these parts? If there’s no black market, there’s no incentive. Arrest the buyers and the supply chain collapses.”
Bimbo Olarinde shared a grim assessment of the situation, claiming this was not an isolated case. “This is the organised crime going on in Lekki Phase 1 now. I’ve reported incidents like this to the Maroko Police. They target Toyota Land Cruisers and Lexus SUVs, usually around 4:30 a.m., when security guards are likely to be asleep.”
Calls for Better Security and Forensics
Security-conscious commenters called for a complete overhaul of how estates secure lives and property.
“All these luxury estates need more than gatekeepers,” wrote Nnaemeka Onyegbule. “They must invest in technology—entry and exit tracking, motion sensors, sound alarms, and fully functional CCTV systems with backups. The police too must begin to prioritise forensic investigation.”
Francis Denedo raised concern over the robbers’ apparent training and confidence. “These men used pistols and operated with precision. This is not your average robbery. This was professional. The guards must be thoroughly questioned.”
Authorities Yet to Respond
As of press time, there has been no official statement from the Lagos State Police Command regarding the CCTV footage or any active investigation into the robbery.
Security experts warn that the lack of publicised arrests or deterrents could embolden similar attacks, especially in affluent residential zones where criminal syndicates view car part theft as low-risk, high-reward.
With pressure mounting from both the public and high-ranking officials, attention is now firmly on the authorities to act—before the next attack is caught on camera.
Police Day 2026: IGP Disu Leads Nationwide Walkathon To Strengthen Community Trust
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Tuesday led the management team, alongside officers and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, in a nationwide walkathon to commemorate the 2026 National Police Day.
The event, held across state capitals and the Federal Capital Territory, formed part of activities marking Day Two of the annual celebration, themed “Community Partnership: Building Trust.”
The symbolic exercise, which drew participation from both police personnel and members of the public, was aimed at showcasing unity, discipline, and a renewed commitment to community policing and public safety.
According to the Force leadership, the walkathon underscores the Nigeria Police Force’s resolve to strengthen public trust, deepen engagement with citizens, and enhance collaboration in tackling security challenges across the country.
Participants described the initiative as a practical step toward bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve, while also promoting physical fitness and mental well-being among officers and civilians alike.
With the theme reflecting a shared responsibility for safety, the Police reiterated that sustainable security can only be achieved through active partnership with the public.
The event concluded with a renewed call for collective action under the banner: “Together We Walk, Together We Secure,” emphasizing unity of purpose in building a safer and more secure society for all Nigerians.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.
To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.
It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?
Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.
However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.
The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.
Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
