Policemen on patrol close to Access Bank in Agbor, along
old Lagos-Asaba road, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State yesterday ran away as armed robbers attacked the bank.
The armed robbers numbering around seven attacked the building around 2 p.m and started shooting in the air to scare away potential security.
They killed a policeman hired by the bank but their effort was tamed when the men of the Nigerian army showed up.
They overpowered the robbers and ended up shooting dead one of the suspects.
One witness said: “The robbers used their guns to force down the bank’s door and in the process soldiers patrolling the area engaged the robbers, thereby killing one”. “On sighting the soldiers, [the suspects] started to run and the soldiers [pursued].
In the process, soldiers killed the driver. This made the car stop and they came out to escape. In the process, one of the robbers was also captured alive while the rest escaped.”
The suspect is said to be making a confession to the police in Agbor.
