How Armed Robbers Attack Bullion Van, Kill 3 Policemen, Four Others In Ibadan (VIDEO)

ARMED robbers have attacked a bullion van transporting money to a bank at Idi-Ape in Ibadan North East Local Government area of Oyo state, killing three police officers and four others.

Vanguard reports that the armed robbers, who were said to have dressed in police uniform, trailed the van to Idi-Ape and, tried unsuccessfully to intercept the bullion van at the area.

It would be recalled that similar robbery incident happened in 2008 when scores were brutally killed.

Eyewitnesses, however, told Vanguard that the robbers allegedly fired several shots at the escort van in a bid to intercept the van and cart away the money.

It was further learnt that the police command launched a manhunt for the fleeing robbers, with the assurance that they would be arrested.

All efforts to get police reaction was not successful, as the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adewale Osifeso, did not pick his call or reply text message sent to his mobile line.
