Reports from Ekiti reveal that a robbery gang has attacked a bank in Iyin-Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun local government area of Ekiti State.
The incident reportedly occurred today and per the report, they stole millions of Naira. It was also revealed in the report that these armed robbers were in possession of sophisticated weapons when they went to the bank to carry out their operation.
Confirming the incident was an eyewitness who said;
“In fact, the police disappointed us. They disappointed the people of Iyin today. The robbers robbed for over 40 minutes without any challenge.
They came in two vehicles , shot into the air and scared the people around away. In fact, those in the nearby market left their commodities and ran for their lives.
The police station along Igede Ekiti was not up to 500 metres while the police patrol point along Ado Ekiti should be a kilometre away, but none of them responded for over 40 minutes the robbers operated. But we thank God nobody was killed, but the agony of the gunshots was too much on the locals.”
Reacting to this development, the spokesperson of the state police command, Sunday Abutu also said;
“We got a distress call from Iyin Ekiti about the robbery and we immediately dispatched our men and officers to the place. I want to confirm to you that the robbers are being chased as I speak with you and the determination is to effect their arrest.
We are assuring the people that the hoodlums shall be arrested and brought to justice. Ekiti is not a safe haven for robbers and that we shall continue to sustain.”
