Armed robbers went on the rampage yesterday afternoon in Lagos and killed
several people including two policemen inside their patrol vehicle.
The
robbers, who drove in two SUVs, a Toyota Prado and Armada, stormed
several parts of Lagos, including a bureau de change at Agege, Lagos,where they shot some currency changers and carted
away two bags containing local and foreign currencies running into
millions.
Those that were shot but survived were taken to Mayfair Hospital at
Oke-Koto but they were rejected and were taken to Motolani Medical
Centre at Alfa Nla, Oke-Koto, Agege for treatment.
A stray bullet shot by the robbers also hit a six-year old girl in
the eye and her grandmother on the forehead while they were watching TV
in their home at 15, Alfa-Nla, Agege.
The police team caught up with the robbers at Guinness bus stop
along Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja and the robbers opened fire on the cops.
In the ensuing gun duel, the police patrol team driver and another
policeman were killed on the spot and the robbers escaped with their
loot.
The identities of the two policemen could not be ascertained.
