The death toll from Thursday’s robbery attack in Offa town in Kwara State has risen to at least 30. About 30 robbers had hit the town, raiding five commercial banks along the Owode Market Area of the town in Offa Local Government Area of the state.

The attack which lasted for hours had left the banks damaged with many feared killed and many more injured. The armed robbers were said to have made away with several millions of naira from the banks, leaving behind a tale of sorrow, tears and blood.

Initial reports had put the death toll at between 12 and 15, but the figure has risen significantly.

Nine police officers were among those killed in the attack while there are fears that the death toll may rise as some of the assailants were said to have attacked the police station in the area.

It was gathered that the gunmen arrived the town in seven vehicles and stationed themselves in each of the banks around 4:30 pm and held the town hostage before escaping through Igosun route in the area whey they allegedly abandoned the cars as seen in the pictures... The vehicles have been recovered at taken to the police station in the area..

Some residents in the area described the robbery as bloody and called for more security presence in the town, saying the incident has become an affair of every five years.

I have a problem with this statement; 'If you know the owners call the police' I hope the Nigeria police I know won't accuse the real owners of the cars as accomplices to the arm-robbers.

If any of those cars is one of my car, and some arm-robbers used it to carry a "successful" arm-robbery like this; heaven knows I ain't going to any police division to retrieve that car. Like fvck, we are talking about Nigeria police. Ok, sacrificial car will be my car's new name.


It is well

In as much as I support you on this statement,on a second thought I still reason that if actually the cars were snatched from the real owners then they would have reported them stolen to other police stations where they were stolen.

What about the owners of the cars reporting to the police first that their cars had been stolen before they were abandoned by the robbers? The Law expects you to make an entry in the nearest Police station whenever your sensitive items are stolen so if those items were used for crime, you won't be termed an accomplise

My prayers and thoughts with the owners of the cars.

The Nigeria police is not what you want to have issues to do with, let alone when they lost their men.

They are not the worst police in the world for nothing, they earned it.

THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST DET FORTH AT DAWN

Any owner who refuses to show up would be adding fuel to the speculative fire of being an accomplice. Afterall the details of the owners can be fetched from the FRSC portal. How would he defend his actions not to come and claim his vehicle

Yeah you are very right to some extent. But the Nigeria police might contruct one theoretical BS they will use in nailing you. I don't trust those guys for a second.

What about if they come up with something like this; "dude you reported to us that your car was stolen earlier on because you wanted to exonerate yourself from our suspects list. You think you are smart." Funny.

I don't know, but man, I rather abandon that car even if I'd report to the police before the robbery occurred than to risk my reputation, my freedom, my innocence etc just because I want to retrieve a freaking car.

Well I'm a little bit opinionated, and in scenarios like this, I will always stick with my opinion.

Like seriously never believed this cars were snatched from the town. If it were then I see no reason them discarding the vehicles in same town.
Might be the cars they came in with which I assume must have been reported stolen and so "hot",prompting them to switch the vehicles with the ones snatched from the town or nearby
