Lagos police reveal bullet delivery
Upon opening the parcel, the First Bank boss reportedly discovered two live bullets concealed in an envelope. The package contained no accompanying letter, message, or information that could show the sender's identity, Fatai noted.
Speaking to journalists in a video that appeared online on Tuesday, June 23, Fatai said:
“Well, there is a case like that which we are presently investigating: Precisely on the 7th of May this year, the director of First Bank (referring to Alebiosu) reported that he collected a parcel that was collected for him by his guard in his house. And when he opened the parcel, he saw two ammunitions (sic). Precisely, live ammunition. Precisely, 7.62 mm live ammunition. And that arose a lot of suspicion.
"And there and there, we went to investigation into the matter. But presently, I can confirm to you that the matter is still under investigation. It's a serious case. And I think the investigation needs to be more thorough. So, we are still on the investigation of that matter.”
