Bomb Threat At Shoprite In Lagos

Sometime this week, some unknown person(s) sent out a yext message to the management of the South African franchise store in Lagos, Shoprite that they have infiltrated some of the goods in the stores with explosives. The matter was immediately reported to the police. The police have since confirmed it a hoax.

Although the unknown sender did not state the reason, but he disclosed that already, members of his group had planted  some explosives in some packs of fruit juice at Shoprite   Victoria Island branch.

he text message caused panic as customers reportedly fled the entire mall  while motorists deserted the route, with text messages sent to loved ones around the vicinity to avoid the route.
It was even rumored that there was a bomb explosion around the area.

Part of the text message read:

“It is true, we do not deserve amnesty.  You’ll even be surprised  how I got your number. We came to Shoprite on a mission to drop a bomb. That day, we sow bullet into Five Alive packs. We are from Niger. Someone gave us your number from Abuja. We will make sure we destroy every Shoprite…”

What is Nigeria turning into? What are these bombers fighting for? Who are they or who do they represent? May God help us!
