The Lagos State Police Command has commenced investigation into a suspicious parcel containing live ammunition delivered to the Managing Director of FirstBank, Oluwasegun Alebiosu.
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command,
CP Fatai Tijani, who disclosed this during a press briefing today at the
Command headquarters, said detectives had commenced investigation to unravel
the circumstances surrounding the delivery.
The incident, according to the police boss, was
reported on May 7, 2026, after the FirstBank MD discovered two rounds of 7.62mm
live ammunition concealed inside a package delivered to him.
CP Tijani said the parcel was initially received by
the executive’s security guard before it was handed over to him.
The Command boss said: “The Managing Director
reported the matter to the police after discovering two rounds of 7.62mm live
ammunition in a parcel collected on his behalf.
“The case is still under investigation, and we are
treating it with the seriousness it deserves,” he said.
It was gathered that the delivery came shortly after
the bank intensified internal reforms aimed at improving efficiency in
financial transactions and stepped up efforts to recover outstanding loans from
customers who had allegedly defaulted on repayment obligations.
Sources
familiar with the incident said the parcel was delivered to Alebiosu’s
residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos through a dispatch rider.
The
package was reportedly marked confidential and bore only the recipient’s name
and address, with no information identifying the sender.
According
to the commissioner, no arrest had been made in connection with the incident,
adding that investigators were pursuing several leads.
Tunji
added that detectives are also examining information provided by the
complainant regarding persons who may have knowledge of or involvement in the
matter.
He
noted that forensic and intelligence-led investigations were ongoing to
establish the source of the parcel and identify anyone connected to the
delivery.
The
commissioner assured residents that the command would provide updates as the
investigation progresses.
The
incident comes amid heightened concerns over the security of corporate
executives and other high-profile individuals in the country.
