Some robbers, on Sunday, attacked the National Population Commission (NPC) office located at Town Hall near Topo Garage in the Badagry area of Lagos State.
A staff member of the commission, Mrs Funmilayo Bojrenu, disclosed that vital documents belonging to NPC were stolen by the assailants.
Bojrenu said: “We left the office on Friday at about 4:30p.m., with all the doors locked and all documents intact, only to resume and discover that our doors have been burgled.
“They ransacked everywhere probably in search of money and when they didn’t find any money, they stole birth certificate booklets, calculator, perforator, staplers, and office cabinet.
“They were able to gain access to the office because the doors do not have burglary proof at the entry and we have complained several times to the Badagry Local Government chairman, Mr Olusegun Onilude about this.

“Even, he has sent the council engineer to come to our office but after his visit, nothing has happened since,” she told NAN.
The Deputy Director of NPC, Badagry office, Mrs Anthonia Kalu, who was on official assignment in Oyo state, said it was the third time the office would be burgled in 2022.
Kalu said: “The Town Hall is no longer secure again since they pulled down the fence for reconstruction of road to Topo.
“The hall is now home for commercial motorcycle riders who are homeless.
“We are appealing to the chairman of the council to help us construct a burglary proof to prevent them from breaking into the office again.”
One of the major roles of the NPC is to give out birth and death certificates to Nigerians.
