PUNCH Metro learnt that the robbers visited some houses at Oyedele Ogunniyi Street and left their tools in one of the homes robbed.
One of the victims, who craved anonymity, told our correspondent that the robbers attacked her family around 1pm, just after they returned from church.
She said, “Around 1pm, there was a knock on the door and when the house girl went to inquire who was at the door, one of our neighbours responded and the girl opened the door.
“When she opened the door, our neighbour was standing beside two armed men. They immediately forced their way in and collected all our phones (six in number).

“They stole all my jewellery, including my wedding ring; two laptops and the sum of N15,000. They ransacked the entire house before fleeing. It was after they had left that I discovered the gun, pellets and masks.”
She added that the neighbour, who was used as a bait by the robbers, was also robbed before he was forced to lead them to her flat.
She said she took the items to the Anthony Police Division and wrote a statement to that affect.
Some residents in the area alleged that the police did not patrol the area regularly, adding that robberies had become quite common in recent times in the area.
One of the residents, who identified himself simply as Olanrewaju, said because the street was linked to Ikorodu Road and Oworonshoki Expressway, robbers always found it easy to escape after robbing.
