Suspected armed robbers
stormed a new generation bank in Ogaminana, in the Adavi Local Government Area
of Kogi State, killing four persons at
about 10am on Wednesday.
A witness, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said the bandits killed two policemen, two members of
staff of the bank and carted away about N25m said to be the salaries of the
workers of the local government area.
“The hoodlums shot
sporadically to scare people away as they took off from the bank,” the source
added.
The indiscriminate
shooting by the fleeing robbers was said to have created a pandemonium in the
area as passersby, street hawkers and other residents ran in different
directions to escape being caught in the gunfire of the invaders.
The Police Public
Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Williams Aya, confirmed the incident,
saying no arrest had been made.
Aya said the police had
commenced investigation into the incident, adding that the command would ensure
that the perpetrators were brought to book.
