It was rains of bullet at residential estate in Lekki, Sunday, as no fewer than 15 gunmen engaged in a gun duel with policemen in a scene akin to battle of the titans.
The armed men who reportedly gained access to the neighbourhood by driving behind a resident and threatening security guards, had robbed about six residents before the police arrived at about 1:00am barricading the main entrance of the estate with an armoured truck.
According to the report, the robbers did not anticipate the police presence and exchange. Then again, they may have anticipated a challenge as they came prepared with sophisticated and deadly assault gear, which forced the police to back off eventually. Some resident speculated they were armed with Uzis and AK 47s.
The Police/Rapid Response service armoured truck was riddled with bullet holes during the exchange of fire. But no life was lost.
