It was a bloody afternoon at Ogbagi Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State when armed robbers attacked a Skye Bank branch in the area on Tuesday.
In the broad daylight, the daredevil robbers reportedly shot sporadically in the air to scare away customers in the crowded banking hall and residents of the area before carrying out the heist.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity to SaharaReporters, said the robbers forced all customers in the bank to lay flat on the floor inside the banking hall before ransacking the vaults and carting away their loot.
Sadly, he confirmed that the gunmen killed three persons, including security officers, and wounded scores of innocent people in the process.
He said;
“The armed robbers killed the security officers attached to Skye Bank because they refused to cooperate with them during the operation,”
“They even slapped a local woman who acted stubborn to them and ransacked all the banking vaults where money was kept before running away.”
The heist has been confirmed by the spokesman of the Ondo State Police Command, Femi Joseph, who said details were still sketchy as at the time of filing this report.
“I am still getting details of the event and I will get back to you,” he said.
Meanwhile, security personnel have been deployed to strategic locations throughout the town as residents remain in shock following the robbery.
