“We called the policemen at Mapo Police station who refused to answer us. We called the fire service who said they could only come if they had police protection.

“I later called the Commissioner of Police who sent a team of policemen to the scene within 15 minutes of my calling him,” he said.

At Asaka area, Basirat Ahmed and Adigun Mutiu described the perpetrators as known hoodlums who also engaged in the robbery in the area.
