The residents of Ibeku, Asa, Oja-Odan and Agbon communities in Ogun State are in fear following an attack notice by a killer gang.

The dreadful letter was written in both English and Hausa languages and circulated within the communities.

As reported by the The Punch, the letter, which conveyed the writers’ plan of attacking the affected communities between December 2022 and January 2023, was reportedly written on Saturday.

The letter reads:

“Attention! Attention!! Attention!! to all following communities; Asa, Agbon, lbeku, Oja-odan and its environs.”

“You think you can send away our people from the land they bought in Nigeria, our fathers land, you kill our people, you kill their cows, you take over all their properties, you think you can go scot-free. It’s high time we come for revenge.

“All the above mention communities leaders should prepare for the war between December and January. We are coming to take back our father’s property.”

Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state’s police public relations officer, confirmed the development, describing the criminal group as “baseless”.

He said, “Well, I saw the letter purportedly written by a baseless group. We believe it is a baseless group that wrote the letter. We are not losing any sleep because no information is too small to take note of.

“We are not neglecting it. We are working on it to unravel those behind it.”
