Suspected
robbers have shot dead four policemen during an attack on a bank in
Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State. But in the shootout, the
police also killed two of the suspected armed robbers.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Elvis Aguebor, said in statement that armed robbers numbering over 20 raided a new generation bank in Okene town on Tuesday night and killed four mobile policemen on the spot.
He said: “The gunmen had, on emerging from four vehicles, fired sporadically on the bank premises, killing our men on duty. “Their aim was to cart away money from the bank but the remaining policemen around the bank, assisted by others deployed in the two adjoining banks, gunned down two of the robbers in an exchange of fire.” Aguebor added that the superior fire power of the policemen prompted the remaining robbers to abandon the operation.
