According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN),
between 4:30pm and 5:00om, suspected
hoodlums drove crazily into the premises of the
National Arts Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos and
disrupted the fun seekers who were there on
Christmas day. People at the theater lost
valuables like phones, money, cameras, etc to the
hoodlums.
A witness at the venue, Mr Philip Patrick said:
“I came here with my siblings to spend the
Christmas day. “We were having a picnic
sort of, and all of a sudden, we saw people
running in different directions; we also saw
a `danfo’ bus move speedily around the
complex.
“No one could really explain exactly what
was happening but we had to run for
safety first.’’
“There are also a lot of pickpockets around
harassing fun seekers.
“One of them took my camera but returned
it immediately when I saw his hand coming
out from my pocket.
“I also saw the same man take items from
other people,’’ Patrick said.
Mrs Anabel Gbenro, a teacher, gave her own
account of what happened. She said:
“I have come here with my family to give
them a tour of a historic place in our
country. “The next thing we saw was
people running to different directions. “It is
annoying that hoodlums are roaming
everywhere here taking items from innocent
people who are trying to relax their nerves.
“The security should be tighter; the police
should increase their surveillance,’’ Gbenro
said.
Fortunately, the Police at the National Theatre
Post were able to apprehend some of the
suspected hoodlums.
