7 Killed As Robbers Attack First Bank In Ilasa-Ekiti, Ekiti State. by joshfash(m): 6:46am On May 25, 2012
No fewer than seven people (five policemen and two civilians) were killed on thursday as robbers attacked First Bank in Ilasa, Ekiti state........


Armed robbers struck in Ilasa-Ekiti, Ekiti East Local Government Area of Ekiti State on Thursday, killing no fewer than seven persons as they invaded a branch of First Bank Plc in the town.

Residents told journalists that three policemen were among the seven persons killed during the robbery, which left the town deserted while the operation lasted.

One of the felled policemen was said to be on guard at the bank, while the remaining two were killed at the police station near the bank.

Our correspondent gathered on Friday that the robbers blew up the bank’s security doors with an explosive device to gain entrance to the banking hall.

Residents told journalists that the robbers, on arriving at the bank, sprayed bullets at the security doors, but could not enter the bank until they threw dynamite at it.

Somebody forgot to tell those robbers that EKITI STATE is poor and that they dont have money..

No wonder the news article said nothing about them carting away millions... grin

Unfortunate.

Many people are without job. The so called leaders (all kind) have destroyed the country because of their senseless greediness.

Is it a secret that OBASONJO was their godfather to always discourage investors and development in the southeast, since the rascal was stopped all the crimes have reduced like it was a movie.

Wow !~ i think if the bank is poor,maybe the robberes are connected to someone who knows the bank officials or the transactions of depostitors?? maybe they hear say big deposit or cash out was going to to be made and they moved in to intercept? I dont know but i hope things rest well for the town soon....

Horrifying stories of bank robbery is getting too much in the SW and each time lives are taken by these beasts who can not create any. Its saddening!
Think its time the SW governors came together, put heads and resources together and tackle this growing monster before it out grows all of us like the jihadists up north and before you know it they will claim to be "robbing" for justice. Then ask that we negotiate with them.
