In a dramatic scene today, Nigerian policemen on patrol fled for their lives when a group of armed robbers stormed the Access Bank in Agbor, along old Lagos-Asaba road, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to SaharaReporters, the suspects, numbering approximately seven and armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the bank in a Toyota vehicle around 2 p.m., shooting into the air as customers and bank employees scampered for safety. The suspects allegedly killed a policeman said to be working with the bank.

Eyewitness accounts disclosed that the alleged thieves were eventually overpowered by the operatives of the Nigerian army on patrol in the area who also killed one of the suspects on the spot. But when the shooting was on, police on patrol took to their heels, driving off before the soldiers arrived.

A witness told SR:

"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."

At press time, Delta state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Celestina Kalu was unavailable. A police source, who asked for anonymity, confirmed the story but said the escaped members of the gang were already being pursued by the men of the command.

Sad.



Why are they displaying a dead body for us to see?? To prove what point??

buhari why?

lmaoooooo

Whoever puts his/her life in the hands of Naija police.......I feel sorry for you oh

Everyday for the thief and one day for the owner. Baba God dey watch

the foundation of this was been laid on the solid rock of greed
reason behind dis has been tied to the long tree of self-centredness

since white collar criminals are been judged by men with black robes
where a millionaire thief would be told to pay thousands

why won't the brown collar ones try out their fate
maybe things may later turn out to be good....trajic TRAJIC!!!!!!

It appear these guys are having a free day today.
They've got a hundred and one check points across this end.

They just moved a guy's golf, shoes and goodies minutes ago around the Igbanke/Esan end.
Some niggas shoul still be in the bush right now.

Happy to be home.

Thanks to this NA guys.
Na una hold agbo big time.

Our police men only know how to intimidate and torture innocent civilians .

Kudos 2d soldiers

As for d useless Police Force.....na only #20 Roja dem sabi

Really serious. But that dead man lying on d grass, is he a cop or a mafia

That's why our military will remain 1 of de best in de world!!!!

I don't even know what to say, but I must comment

A man holding a gun with no bullet proof vest will be so scared to die, wonder why all police personnels can't be given a kevlar vest each.

Why not work hard and earn ur money.
Don't rest in peace.
May ur soul be restless .

Blame it on Buhari...

Dos cops didnt actually run...buh onli made a tactical retreat...lol....d military bin saving d day since...God knws when
