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.
