A Lagos-based legal practitioner, Mr Daniel Adeyemi, has called for urgent measures to curb “the alarming rate of armed robbery attacks in the society”. Adeyemi made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Tuesday. According to him, armed robbery is the crime of using firearms or offensive weapons to take the property of another by threat or force. “Robbers dispossessed people of their valuables, some even rape, injure, or even kill just to carry out their operations. “Security of lives and property is everybody’s business; all hands must be on deck in tackling this menace so as to make the society safe for all.
