Tijani Fatai, the commissioner of police in Lagos, says the command has commenced an investigation into the delivery of a parcel containing bullets to the residence of Olusegun Alebiosu, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) of First Bank Nigeria (FBN).

Speaking during a press briefing on Tuesday, the commissioner said Alebiosu reported to the police on May 7, 2026, that his security guard had received a parcel at his Lagos residence.

According to him, two rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition were found in the parcel when it was opened, adding that the discovery aroused “a lot of suspicion”.

“Presently, I can confirm to you that the matter is still under investigation. It is a serious case. The investigation needs to be more thorough,” he said.

“Presently, no suspect is in custody. Even though the MD has mentioned some people who he suspected of being the brains behind it. That is his suspicion anyway. We are still working on it.”

The police commissioner made the disclosure when he was asked to confirm the reports about the parcel.

He also said operatives of the command arrested several crime suspects and recovered some items, including 14 firearms, four live cartridges, 51 mobile phones, one motorcycle, 47 sacks of military camouflage uniforms, and vandalised electrical cables.
