An alleged Closed Circuit Television footage of the Offa Bank Robbery in Offa, Kwara State, has surfaced on the internet.

On Thursday last week, gunmen numbering about 30 had stormed the town and engaged in a robbery operation that was reported to have lasted for about 2 hours without any confrontation from security agents across the state.

No fewer than 17 persons, including nine policemen, were killed in the robbery operation carried out

In the footage, a woman and her child were seen leaving what looked like the ATM house of a bank when gun bearing men started shooting sporadically from the major road.

Two men standing by the small house took off immediately they heard the gunshots, while the camera angle did not show what became of the woman and the child she was holding.

After that, three armed men were seen going around seemingly coordinating what next to do.

Smoke, which appeared to come from explosives were also seen after a banging noise.

Another explosive was later thrown into what seem like the small building housing the ATM.

Then the men went inside and came out.

The CCTV footage could however not be independently confirmed as being that of the Offa robbery incident as at press time.

The Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed has however offered N5 million for information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of the Offa bank robbery attack in Offa town. On Thursday, police officers and residents were killed when armed robbers attacked five banks and a police station.

In a statement released by the media aide to the governor Muyideen Akorede, Gov. Ahmed has reportedly promised anyone who has useful information to contact the state police command on the following numbers – 0803 739 1280‬ and 0803 236 5122.

The Police also reported that some suspects linked to the robbery attack are already in their custody.

O boy see action film. Lord direct my steps

How true is this www.schoolcrayon.com

IGP come and see

those guys had no mask on.to me they should be easy to identify, that's if we have d technology

The bank couldn't get a decent CCTV?.

which way Naija........God deliver us.

High level of incompetence from the police! They had a back door in their security Post but they choose to barricade themselves inside.

They should have exited from the back of their security post, and held the main entrance from behind the car while the wait for reinforcement.

Naija made '44minutes'

We need clearer CCTV . Its time to identify your neighbors living high life styles without tangible sources of income. I still believe they are going to be arrested. Though some of them might have run away from the country and watch things from outside.

Bro, it is easier said than done. That is an illusions from movies. In realities, it can't happen because the way our body reacts to fears and panics. They are the firstvtarget and more pressure will be on them to clear them all. When you hear tatatata pra pra tu tu tu pupu pu pu gboa , backed up with granades, you won't even remember where your gun is. Is it a police man with just less than 30 live ammunitions you want to advice to confront dare devil robbers that are on drugs?
You can see how well coordinated the guys are, first retreating and move and back ups again?
Someone has said earlier than the only way is for bank to get snipers in a small armored building at the top of their buildings for in case like this. He will be resisting them and take them out one after the other. The rest will flee. May God not let us be in the wrong place at the wrongly calculated right time.

I doubt if this is the original footage.

Notice that the CCTV camera was moving which isn't supposed to be so...

Hope this isn't another desperate attempts from fake bloggers

You will be surprised that these robbers after operating like this will go out there and be claiming to be yahoo boys.
