Lagos police investigate ammunition parcel delivered to FirstBank MD

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Tijani Fatai, stated that detectives began investigations after Alebiosu reported on May 7, 2026, finding two rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition concealed in a package. The parcel was initially received by the bank executive’s security guard before being handed to him. Sources indicate the parcel was delivered to Alebiosu’s Ikoyi residence by a dispatch rider, marked confidential, and only bore the recipient’s name and address, with no sender information.

No arrests have been made, but investigators are pursuing several leads and examining information provided by the complainant regarding individuals who may have knowledge or involvement. Forensic and intelligence-led investigations are ongoing to identify the source and anyone connected to the delivery. The commissioner assured residents of updates as the investigation progresses.
