AS FORWARDED TO ALIMOSHOTODAY.COM TODAY, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2022.
Fellow Ambassadors, I believe you are all fine by the grace of God. Please, this is a serious security alert for all Lagos residents.
It was leaked from the conversation among some bikers, who from the source confirmed that they are those foreigners from Niger, Chad, Mali, Guinea Bissau, and the likes, but they look like our brothers that are Hausas, but are not Hausas.
As heard from them, they are loyalists who escaped either from ISWAP or BOKO HARAM, when they cannot bear the judgement of our gallant Nigerian Soldiers in Kaduna- Abuja area, but are now found already in Lagos. They are predominant among the bike riders, the source disclosed, while on transit.
It was said that shortly after a known lady who was a ticket issuer to Okada riders in Ojodu Berger was stabbed to death two weeks ago, and an Engineer gruesomely murdered in cold blood in Lekki few days ago, and till date justice has not taken its course.
It was gathered that a group of this foreign evil boys were found gathered at Kara-Opic, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, discussing among themselves in their language but look like Hausa, BUT ARE NOT, that they have been sent to mark their presence in Lagos State by such kind of nefarious activities, and if they are arrested, they will take their bail and later settle the Nigerian Police for their immediate release.
THEIR MODE OF OPERATION
They have been asked to arm themselves with knives, staves, matchet, and charms wherever location they are found to operate. And must take up the commercial bike job.
Any passenger who tries to impose a fee ride on them because they are foreigners, and he or she is a resident of Lagos, should be killed. And anybody who want to make fun of them should be taken to an area along the journey, where people are not really closer, stop there, call their colleagues immediately, tell the person what he can do if the person does not cooperate.
And being a resident in Lagos, the passenger will want to feel insulted by a foreigner in his own country, and will want to cause a fight, or try to call on authority.
In the course of this argument, when people are not that close, or while waiting for other colleagues to come, they are mandated to end the matter in chaos or must kill that passenger come rain, come shine, as they believe that bail will be the end result, and the poor passenger would have been murdered in cold blood!
SOME SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS
1. Cry out to the authorities or emergency platforms, when you see or when you notice the gathering of these foreign bikers meddling together in a secret meeting across Lagos State.
2. Agree on the fee that should be charged for your journey. Don't jump in a rush on the bike of these boys. And if you are not pleased, walk away.
3. Don't raise an argument with them about their incompetency or rough driving while on the journey already. Tell them politely before the start of the or you softly threaten to come down and pay them off, inorder to continue with your journey in peace.
4. Wherever there's any argument of angry foreign bikers with any Lagosian, call the Police immediately, before it leads to any loss of another Lagosian.
5. Be sure that the biker knows your destination before you ride with him!
6. Direct visitors to a known Nigerian language biker such as Ibo, Yoruba, Hausa ( but avoid him if you are not sure whether he's a foreigner or not), and others whom you are sure understand the direction to your location.
7. Obey your instinct at anytime before going along with any bike rider.
8. Ensure a peaceful co-existence with them, as you may be riding with an innocent foreigner, who for survival results to commercial bike job.
Be it true or false, please, stay safe!
