According to the eyewitness, one of the two sacks contained N16m and the other, over N10m.

“All in all, there was over N26m in the two sacks when the incident happened.

‘’The suspected robbers took away one of the sacks containing N16m, ”he said.

NAN gathered that soon after the suspects snatched the money, they shot continuously into the air to scare people and fled.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Command in the state, SP Magaji Majiya, confirmed the story.

Nowhere is safe in the shithole

Insecurity everywhere and buhari and his supporters are busy counting security as one of his achievements

It's a ZOO!!!!!

You no go see any shithole policeman for where this kind thing dey happen, na when dem see unarmed ordinary civilians you go see them in action

Buhari why

Those NNPC staff they arrested will now be used as the scapegoats for the failure and incompetence of our security agents

Shithole country

dizon:
Buhari why

Yes, Buhari why?

The armed robbers stole from the nozzle robbers.
No petrol attendant will make heaven.

Those attendants at Hotoro mega stations extort customers like crazy.
At the end of the day, they'd go flex at Darabo joint off that Sabo Bakin Zuwo road.

It's only in Nigeria that you'd find a fuel attendant building his own house and driving a car.

Thieves.
They should jail them all, they know the whereabout of that money.

The Manager right now

foolish sales girl.

At least is not Snake or Monkey that swallow the cash. As regards the cash, the cashiers might know something.

Lawless Country

Who else thinks that the robbery is a "staged" one.

To get at the robbers, the employees should be tortured hard.

Inside job.

This is more acceptable job than the snake story.
