Bandits on Friday operated in Calabar
freely for over three hours, killing an unidentified Inspector of Police
that led a team to stop the robbery operations at a popular hotel
located behind the headquarters of the Zone 6 Police Command.
The robbers also shot another policeman
at the same hotel before making away with his gun to another part of
the Calabar metropolis where they attacked a security operative at a
bank, also snatching his weapon.
Southern City News learnt on Sunday that
the armed bandits operated in the Cross River State capital from 9pm to
12 midnight and snatched seven cars before retreating to their hideout.
An anonymous source said the armed
robbers took time to dispossess the hotel customers of their belongings
for over one hour before the arrival of the police team whose leader was
killed.
The source said that after leaving the
hotel, the bandits went to the Nelson Mandela Street end of the Watt
market in Calabar-South stabbed and dispossessed one security operative
of his gun.
He said, “The robbers operated at the
hotel for over one hour before the intervention of policemen from the
Federal Housing Police Station. The police team were ambushed by the
robbers some few metres to the gate of the hotel.
