Three Policemen were yesterday shot dead at Ibillo in Akoko-Edo
Local Government Area, Edo State during a bank robbery. Two other
policemen and two robbers also sustained serious gun injuries.
Saturday Sun gathered that an eight-man robbery gang had struck
at an old generation bank in Ibillo at about 5.30 am yesterday and
tried to shot their way into the bank.
According to eyewitness account, the robbers were said to have shot
dead a policeman, who tried to resist them. They equally shot two
other policemen.
It was gathered that the police had re-enforced and a shoot-out
ensued. In the exchanges, two of the suspects sustained gunshot
injuries.
It could not be ascertained whether or not the armed robbers carted
away money from the bank as at the time of filing this report.
The Edo State Police Command spokesman, Mr. Peter Ogboi, while confirming
the incident, said the armed robbers abandoned their vehicle, which
was recovered by the police.
