The Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into the delivery of a suspicious parcel containing live ammunition to the Managing Director of FirstBank, Oluwasegun Alebiosu.
The Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, disclosed this on Tuesday during a press briefing at the command headquarters, stating that detectives had commenced investigations to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.
According to the police commissioner, the matter was reported on May 7, 2026, after Alebiosu allegedly discovered two rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition concealed in a parcel delivered to him.
Fatai explained that the package was initially received by the bank executive’s security guard before being handed over to him.
“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,” the commissioner said.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the parcel was delivered to Alebiosu’s residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos by a dispatch rider.
The package was reportedly marked “confidential” and contained only the recipient’s name and address, with no indication of the sender’s identity.
Fatai disclosed that no arrests had been made in connection with the incident, adding that investigators were actively pursuing multiple leads.
He said detectives were also examining information provided by the complainant regarding individuals who may have knowledge of, or links to, the delivery of the parcel.
According to the police chief, forensic and intelligence-driven investigations are ongoing to determine the source of the ammunition and identify anyone connected to the incident.
He assured members of the public that the command would provide updates as investigations progress.
The development has raised fresh concerns about the security of corporate executives and other high-profile individuals amid growing security challenges across the country.
