A 30 man gang, on Wednesday, raided a first generation bank at Ijebu-Igbo, while another six-man gang raided a micro-finance bank at Ijebu-Mushin, both in Ogun State.

The 30-man gang arrived at the bank at about 11am in three vehicles - a coaster bus, a space bus and a Toyota Sienna.

They destroyed the bank’s security doors with explosives and shot sporadically into the air before the bank manager led them to the vault, while the workers and customers were held hostage.

The robbers looted the vault and the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and carted away an undisclosed amount of money.

MRbrownJAY:

and where was the police during all this time?! oh yeah, safely collecting bribes on the road. lol!

so should the police be guarding every bank in the country now?

No cause for alarm, folks.   That SPORADIC gunfire at robbery scenes is generally celebratory in nature, and nobody who minds their own business will eat hot lead while the liquidity re-apportionment protocol is being implemented by the visiting delegation of gentlemen with big guns.

Seriously though, this is what happens when Nigerian cops are deprived of their "daily bread" that has traditionally been collected at road-blocks.

Again? Is the security that lax in d state?

again?

Thank God nobody was killed.

That state ! Hmmn i reserve my comment

Hope these robberies is not political?Because during OGD tenure is not as worst as this,

Effects of mass sack by banks,high rate of unemployment & laxity in security in d country,

before we know it, they'll say it's Boko Haram. May God help our country, BH or robbers, all we want is security of lives and property!!

If you keep money at home, robbers will come for it, and if it's in a bank, they'll still go after it. What are the Nigerian peeps then expected to do with their hard earned money

30 men gang. Na blood bath go happen if confronted. Them too plenty. Nigerian police station self no dey get reach 30 staffs. Maybe 10 na him dey always dey on duty and half of them dey road block

No Wonder no bank opened today in Ijebu-ode.

Security in Nigeria remains a joke. Whatever happened to the MOPOL dispatched to banks?

that bastard OGUN STATE both armed robbers and ritualists are doing ok there . God punish all of them

Sorry if i may ask but which ritualists are in the east again and can you give me a timeline of when last they struck? Just asking. Thanks.

@bandit C,
Just answer by telling me which part is safe before you ask me another question, typical, que for que,

Nd if u don't have an asnwer then go make ur reserch urself,

^^^ Enugu and Owerri have been safe places for a long time now. That much I can tell.

You say you've been in almost all parts of Nigeria. Which parts of Imo and Enugu have you lived in?

If you don't know what to say why don't you keep quit,

@tinyemeka, I lived in Nnsuka for 1 year during my NYSC, was always chilling at the bar near 'FLAT', am sure u knw the place nd the kinda crapy mess u can get ur self in once its dark, coupled wit d funny gists we always hear happening in Ogbolaafo, then cultist episodes on d regular,

I have been to Owerri countless times nd am sure you can't deny the crappy acts comited by ritualists in the "hotel" nd "Motel" dominated city,

It's very embarrassing for a state with a governor to vbe under the threat of Armed robbers to the extent that no financial transaction involving bank can take place within a big region of the state for more than 3 months. I was at OOU yesterday to process my certificate and part of the requirements is to get drafts from the banks and you can't get that done because all the banks on the campus, ago-iwoye, ijebu-igbo, ijebu-mushin, sagamu, ijebu-ode are closed.  The banks on the campus have been taken over by overgrown weeds, learnt they were all robbed the same day around October last year and lots of people lost their lives. The government should be blamed for this. The new governor is busy running after all his political enemies over properties and is not bothered with security in his state. My sister told me the same type of operation was carried out on all banks at Ilaro. so what is AMOSUN doing?
