If you mistakenly stole any bag, please just contact me.”

If a thief can comfortably rob a car in front of a police station, what does that say about the state of security in Nigeria?
The message is clear: Be vigilant. Don’t assume you’re safe—even around uniformed officers.

🔍 Final Thoughts from Eyes of Lagos:

This isn’t just a story about theft—it’s a wake-up call.
In Nigeria today, your first line of defense is you. Guard your space. Guard your property. And above all, demand accountability from those who claim to protect you.
