UPDATE:
Four people
were killed today after a gang of armed robbers invaded the branch of First
City Monument Bank (FCMB) at Plot B, Waterfront Plaza, Admiralty Way, Lekki
Phase 1, Lagos state.
According to a
witness, the four people were three police escorts of a passing civilian
Coaster bus and a fish seller. The robbers, numbering at least 12, had arrived
a few minutes before 5pm via a boat, and immediately began firing gunshots into
the air in an operation that lasted exactly 25 minutes.
“It was a
well-coordinated attack,” the witness said. “The robbers arrived in military
camouflage and immediately distributed themselves, three of them manning each
of the four exits of the bank. As I am talking to you now, the bodies of the
three policemen that were killed are still on the ground.” He added that after
forcing their way into the banking hall, the robbers immediately announced
their intention, and everyone cooperated with them.
“Nobody was
killed inside the bank because once they announced that they were robbers,
everyone, including bank staff, cooperated. “So it was a successful operation
for them, because they made away with a lot of money. They even hacked into the
ATMs and carted away the money stuffed there.”
