The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, CP Tijani Fatai, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing journalists at the command headquarters in Ikeja during a review of the command’s activities over the past two weeks.
Fatai described the incident as a serious security concern, revealing that the parcel was delivered on May 7, 2026, to the bank chief’s residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
According to him, the parcel was received by a security guard attached to the residence on behalf of the First Bank Managing Director, identified in other reports as Oluwasegun Alebiosu.
“The Managing Director of First Bank reported that a parcel collected by a security guard at his residence was later opened and found to contain two live rounds of ammunition,” Fatai said.
The police commissioner disclosed that the recovered ammunition was identified as 7.62mm calibre rounds, prompting the command to immediately open an investigation into the matter.
He said detectives were already pursuing all available leads to identify those behind the delivery and determine the motive.
Fatai further noted that although the complainant mentioned some individuals suspected to be linked to the incident, such claims remain allegations pending the outcome of police investigation.
“Those mentioned are merely suspects based on the complainant’s suspicion. Our investigation will determine those truly connected to the incident,” he stated.
The police chief urged members of the public to refrain from speculation, stressing that no individual or organisation had been officially linked to the incident at this stage.
He assured that the investigation would be thorough and that anyone found culpable would be brought to justice.
