. A resident said that the bandits, who were many, wore face masks, adding that many people were injured in the robbery operation.

A witness, who gave his name as Dele, residing at Market Street, said that the robbers pointed guns at him and dispossessed him of his two phones and the N5,500 he had on him.
Dele, who claimed that the robbers were over 100, said they dispossessed many people of their money, mobile phones and other valuables in some streets in the area.
