Six people have been killed in an attack in
central London in which three assailants were
shot dead by police, Scotland Yard has said.
A white van hit a number of people on London
Bridge just after 22:00 BST.
Three men then left the vehicle and stabbed a
number of people in Borough Market, an area
known for its restaurants and bars.
Armed officers confronted and shot three male
suspects within eight minutes.
London Ambulance Service said at least 30
people have been taken to hospital.
A number of people were treated at the scene
for less serious injuries.
The British Transport Police said one of its
officers was seriously injured after being
stabbed as he responded to the incident but
his condition was not said to be life-
threatening.
The Metropolitan Police tweeted: "At 0025hrs
4/6/17 the incidents at #LondonBridge &
#BoroughMarket were declared as terrorist
incidents."
Prime Minister Theresa May described the
incidents as "dreadful events" and will chair a
meeting of the government's Cobra emergency
committee later.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the attacks
were "horrific" and "targeted at people
enjoying their evening with friends and
family".
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: "We don't yet
know the full details, but this was a deliberate
and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners
and visitors to our city enjoying their Saturday
night. I condemn it in the strongest possible
terms."
Eyewitnesses told BBC home affairs
correspondent Tom Symonds they saw people
getting out of the van after the attack on the
bridge and running towards Borough Market.
Gunshots were later heard in the area while
one social media user has posted a
photograph appearing to show one of the
attackers lying on the ground outside a pub in
the food market, with what seemed to be
canisters strapped to his body.
Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark
Rowley said: "The suspects had been
confronted and shot by the police within eight
minutes of the first call.
"The suspects were wearing what looked like
explosive vests but these were later
established to be hoaxes."
He said that the force's knowledge of the
incident is still growing but it is currently
believed there were three attackers involved.
The attack comes almost two weeks after 22
people died in a suicide bombing at a concert
in Manchester.
In March, five people died in London when a
car was driven at pedestrians on Westminster
Bridge and a police officer was stabbed
outside Parliament.
'Van hit five people'
The BBC's Tom Symonds said a security
guard who oversees a number of pubs in the
London Bridge area said he saw four people
stabbed by three attackers.
BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the
bridge at the time of the attack, said a van
driven by a man was "probably travelling at
about 50 miles an hour" before it hit a
number of people.
"He swerved right round me and then hit
about five or six people. He hit about two
people in front of me and then three behind,"
Ms Jones told the BBC News Channel.
Five or six people were being treated for
injuries after the vehicle mounted the
pavement and hit them, she said.
"I'd say there are about four severely injured
people. They all have paramedics assisting
them at the moment."
She said the van came from the direction of
central London and headed towards the south
side of the river.
Ms Jones later reported seeing a man being
arrested by police. She said he was
handcuffed and had his shirt off.
She said a French woman was among the
injured. She had said she did not know where
two people she had been with were.
Speaking to the Press Association, Will Orton
described being in a pub in the area and
seeing people coming running inside.
"We didn't really know what was going on," he
said.
"We thought maybe there was a fight or
something outside. And then there were
almost hundreds of people coming inside.
"The bouncers did a really good job, they shut
the doors and locked everyone in. There was
panic - it seemed like it was literally outside
the door. People were coming inside and
saying they had witnessed people being
stabbed."
The prime minister said: "Following updates
from police and security officials, I can
confirm that the terrible incident in London is
being treated as a potential act of terrorism."
Mrs May added: "This is a fast-moving
investigation. I want to express my huge
gratitude to the police and emergency services
who are on the scene.
"Our thoughts are with those who are caught
up in these dreadful events."
Downing Street said Mrs May, who has been
campaigning in the general election, returned
to No 10 to receive further briefings from
security officials.
On Twitter, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn
described the incidents as "brutal and
shocking".
Transport for London (TfL) said London
Bridge has been closed in both directions,
while neighbouring Southwark Bridge has also
been shut.
TfL said there were further closures in
Borough High Street, where armed police and
counter-terrorism specialist forces were later
seen. On the north side of the river, road
closures included Lower Thames Street and
part of Cannon Street.
The Met Police has set up a casualty bureau
on 0800 096 1233 and 020 7158 0197 for
people concerned about friends or relatives
who may be affected.
Meanwhile, Facebook said it has activated its
safety check so people in London could post a
message to let friends and relatives know they
were safe.
Police said earlier they were also responding
to an incident in the Vauxhall area a few
miles away but later confirmed it was not
connected to the London Bridge attacks. |

The Archbishop of the Enugu Province, Anglican Communion, Emmanuel Chukwuma, said on Monday that the clergy is not in support of the sit-at-home declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB. IPOB and MASSOB urged Igbos to sit at home on May 30 to observe the group’s anniversary. Mr. Chukwuma, a most reverend, made this known at the Democracy Day celebration and second year anniversary of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in Enugu on Monday. The cleric, who spoke before offering the opening prayer of the Democracy Day, called on all people in South-East to go about their legitimate businesses, saying that the clergy were against the declaration. “Before I offer the opening prayer, let me first of all state the position of the clergy on the sit-at- home declaration by IPOB and MASSOB. “We are not in support of the call. We advise all to ignore it and go about their legitimate businesses,” he said. Mr. Chukwuma, whose clarification was applauded by the crowd, urged traders and workers to open their shops and ignore the call. He said the people of south-east would fare well and enjoy more and better dividends of democracy in a united Nigeria. Source: (NAN) |

Over a year ago, when singer Davido had a clash with the uncle of his baby mama Chief Dele Momodu, he openly disrespected him and even dragged him in his lyrics, however,a much older Banky W has shown that not all entertainers were born in the age of Davido. Banky W has just endeared himself to many more fans and music lovers after a photo of him prostrating to greet Chief Dele Momodu surfaced online. The one time Presidential candidate who was obviously touched by Banky’s humility and respect says that he met the singer ten years ago in Toronto and he loved him instantly. It didñt end there, fans are calling the attention of Davido to this act of respect and reminding him of his “Dele na my boy” lyrics. It seems Banky W needs to add Quote “humble”
