Unspecified number of residents of Otukpo, Benue State, have been reportedly killed by gunmen suspected to be armed robbers.

DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen invaded several banks in Otukpo at about 3 pm on Friday, shooting sporadically.

An eyewitness, Sunday Abah, who spoke with DAILY POST, said the gunmen have been operating for several hours without security intervention.

“Armed robbers have taken over everywhere in Otukpo. They are just shooting whoever they see.

Currently, they are robbing Zenith bank and they been here for more than three hours”, he said.

The Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Catherine Anene Sewuese could not be reached as of the time of filing this report.

..dear God...

So they have such sophisticated weapon to rob a bank but won't do pim when herdsmen invade them , and slaughter them like ram? Such a pity, that in this civilized time, banks can still be robbed unchallenged

All the mopols with guns stationed at banks are just for ceremony.

Benue Again

They are likely out-numbered, nothing much they can do. Community policing is the answer.

If hamas can do it in Israel. Why won't unknown Gunmen do it in all the banks in Benue state unchallenged by the securities

They have continued the Carnage in Benue unabated with the Nigerian army technically supporting these terrorists

Meaning that the kidnappers have metamorphosised into armed robbery. Definitely, the police must have understood that the firearms are superior to theirs, hence respecting themselves in a diplomatic manner. My own thought though .

Nigerian Police Force❗️❗️☹️☹️☹️

That Benue has 2 be closed down.

Hmm

Black Friday for my hometown..

Seems like you have details about the robbers. Because I haven't read or heard a single report that states that the robbers are residents of the town. Robberies can take different dimensions, so why not wait until more facts are established before talking down on the people of the town?

A worrying event.

We shall overcome.

Bros calmed down, some of this hit are carried out participated by non states actors (armed and hardened criminals) with sophisticated weapon, before embarking on such shit they must've carried out an accurate surveillance and Intel's before manning and executing the robbing sprees unchallenged.
