Five Customers Feared Dead As Robbers Storm First Generation Bank In Delta, Cart Away Millions

Five persons were feared killed yesterday when an 11-man robbery gang
attacked a first generation bank in Agbor, Ika South Local Government
Area of Delta State, and carting away unspecified amount of cash.
It was learnt that the dare-devil robbers, armed to the teeth with
sophisticated weapons, blew-up the bank vault.
According to eye witness accounts, the robbers shot sporadically into
the air to scare bystanders away just as customers who were inside the
banking hall doing transactions scampered for safety.
The incident, which took place in the morning lasted for several
minutes and the men of the underworld had a field day despite the fact
that security operatives were stationed some few metres away at the
Divisional Police Headquarters, Agbor.
Confirming the incident, State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Lucky Uyabeme, said the police command has intensified a full-scale
manhunt for the fleeing robbers.
