Fear and confusion gripped the Mushin area of Lagos early Wednesday morning as a notorious gang known as the Kasari Boys unleashed terror on residents in a coordinated robbery spree that left many properties destroyed and several residents traumatized.
The criminal syndicate, infamous for its violent operations across parts of Lagos, reportedly stormed several streets in Mushin, robbing households, vandalizing property, and causing widespread panic. Eyewitnesses say the gang operated freely for hours without any police presence or intervention.
“We were helpless,” a resident told Lagos Reporters. “They came in large numbers, broke into homes, carted away valuables, and beat up anyone who resisted. We kept calling the police, but no one came.”
The gang’s brazenness and the lack of immediate security response have reignited fears of a growing breakdown in neighborhood safety across Lagos. Community leaders and affected residents are now calling on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to take swift action to secure the area and dismantle the Kasari Boys gang once and for all.
“We are tired of living in fear,” another resident lamented. “We are pleading with Governor Sanwo-Olu and the Lagos State Government to rescue us from these criminals.”
As of press time, the Lagos State Police Command had yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
