Five Customers Feared Dead As Robbers Storm First Generation Bank In Delta, Cart Away Millions
Five persons were feared killed
yesterday when an 11-man
robbery gang attacked a first
generation bank in Agbor, Ika
South Local Government Area
of Delta State, and carting away
unspecified amount of cash.
It was learnt that the dare-devil robbers, armed to the teeth
with sophisticated weapons, blew-up the bank vault.
According to eye witness accounts, the robbers shot
sporadically into the air to scare bystanders away just as
customers who were inside the banking hall doing transactions
scampered for safety.
The incident, which took place in the morning lasted for
several minutes and the men of the underworld had a field day
despite the fact that security operatives were stationed some
few metres away at the Divisional Police Headquarters,
Agbor.
Confirming the incident, State Police Public Relations Officer,
ASP Lucky Uyabeme, said the police command has
intensified a full-scale manhunt for the fleeing robbers.
