BLACK SUNDAY IN LAGOS

•3 cops, 1 lastma, 3 others dead as hoodlums shoot round Lagos.
Dare-devil robbers rattled Lagos yesterday, killing three policemen, one lastma and three civilians. The robbers, who operated in a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), also injured three other civilians as they unleashed terror on different areas of the metropolis. One of the civilians, a bureau de-change operator, was shot in Agege.
The robbers were said to have started their operations from the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, killing a commercial motorcycle rider in Ijesha area. The robbers were said to have proceeded to Bariga, where they raided a commercial bank and carted away unspecified amount of money. They left Agege for Ogba but seeing that the police had barricaded the area, they began shooting sporadically, injuring many. The robbers, made a detour and were retreating through the Oba Akran Road, when they sighted a police patrol team. They intercepted the van and rained bullets on the policemen.
