A security guard, simply identified as Jerry was
killed and two other people injured after suspected armed robbers, stormed filling stations at Asaba, Delta State.
One of the attacked filling stations, is located a
stone throw from the official quarters of the Delta State Commissioner of
Police, Mr Adeleke Adeyinka.
Adeyinka, who confirmed the attack in Asaba, said:
"It is true. I heard it this morning. The man that was killed was a
security guard of the filling station. He was tied to a stake, where he later
died."
The number one policeman in the state explained that
over N1 million was snatched from one of the fuel attendants, while over N200,
000 was carted away from the other petrol station. He said that no arrest has
been made.
The robbers, were
said to have stormed the ill-fated stations, B2 Energy and the Verun petrol stations,
situated along the popular Okwe road on Monday night.
The suspects broke into the strong room of one of
the filling stations, before unleashing terror on the guards. The money stolen was
sales made over the weekend.
An attendant, in one of the station, said: “When we
came to work in the morning, we saw our security guard Mr Jerry, dead. There
was a rope tied round his neck and his face was covered with a bag, which used
to be kept in our toilet. We raised the alarm. We later discovered that two
other security guards were tied with rope in another location, with some of
their teeth removed.”
