Robbers Raid Hotel For Dollars

Unidentified gunmen on Monday struck at a popular hotel in Ajao Estate, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, and carted away millions of naira and dollars belonging to the management and lodgers in the hotel.

The robbers struck at May Hotel located at 22, Kaara Street, Ajao Estate at about 2.00 am with sophisticated weapons.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the operation lasted more than two hours and the victims were lodgers in the hotel who had just returned to the country as well as  foreigners.

It was learnt that the robbers only stole money in the local and foreign currencies from the victims while their belongings were not touched.

What surprised the hotel management and residents was that the area was well protected with gates manned by guards round the clock.

According to an eyewitness account, the armed gang came from Inua Mohammed Street in Ajao Estate and broke the street gate locks.

They held the unarmed security guards and receptionists in the hotel at  gunpoint and forced  the receptionists on duty to lead them  from room to room to rob the lodgers

“They did not shoot any bullet but seized the guards and the receptionists and ordered them to cooperate with them while the operation lasted,” said an eyewitness.

After the successful operation, the robbers locked the receptionists and guards in one of the rooms in the hotel and left.

The incident has caused suspicion that the robbery was the work of an insider in the hotel or the residents of the area.

Of cause, find the insider and the case is solved.
