…Allegedly Kill Two Policemen, Others
Some gunmen suspected to be armed robbers have hijacked a bullion van in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, according to reports.
The bullion van was said to have been attacked at Idi-Ape junction, opposite a private school on Thursday afternoon.
It was gathered that the bullion van was attacked shortly after it left one of the banks in Ibadan, located a few metres away from the Testing Ground Police Station, which houses one of the area commands of the Nigeria Police Force in the state.
Two police officers were allegedly shot dead during the attack.
Eye witnesses said that the armed robbers, who had laid an ambush, opened fire on the bullion van and the escort vehicle, while heading towards Iwo-road.
Attempts to reach the Police PRO, Wale Osifeso, proved abortive, as he did not respond to incessant calls.
