JUST- IN: Robbers Attack Commercial Banks In Kogi

Gunmen, on Tuesday, launched attack on Commercial Banks in Ankpa, Kogi State, carting away undisclosed amount of money.

It was gathered that for almost one and half hours, Ankpa, the

headquarters of Ankpa local government area of Kogi State, was under siege as the robbers had a field day.

Sources informed LEADERSHIP that the robbers arrived the town in three

vehicles while others were on motorbikes.

It was gathered that they entered Ankpa through the eastern flank and

blocked all exit routes and operated uninterrupted.

Sources further revealed that the police station in the town was

earlier attacked by the robbers on their way to First Bank and Zenith Bank with heavy gunshots.

After robbing banks for about an hour, they drove violently but

steadily through the town out of Ankpa with unending gunshots.

The armed robbers, numbering about 20, left Ankpa through Okpo in Olamaboro local government area, but no one knows their destination as the shots were too heavy for the police to confront.

Meanwhile, number of casualties could not be ascertained as efforts to get confirmation from the Kogi State Police Command proved abortive.
