A 4-man robbery gang invaded Idimu area of Lagos
yesterday and killed two persons. The suspected
robbers shot dead a police inspector and a civilian at
Okunola Street, Idimu, on the outskirts of Lagos
metropolis.
The yet-to-be named inspector was shot while he was
withdrawing money from an Automated Teller Machine
(ATM) at GTB bank. The robbers, who stormed the area
about 11a.m., had earlier attacked a bank customer and
robbed him of a huge sum of money which he had
withdrawn inside the banking hall.
The gunmen, who wielded two guns, went for the
customer who was on his way out of the bank. The
suspects had successfully robbed the man and were
fleeing when they saw the inspector using the ATM and
shot him in the head.
Onlookers rushed the inspector to a hospital where
doctors confirmed him dead. Meanwhile, policemen
stationed at the bank called for reinforcement. Men of
the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and Mobile policemen
deployed in the area went after the fleeing robbers and
caught up with them.
In the ensuing gun battle, the police shot and killed two
of the robbers, arrested a suspect identified as Gaffar
Ismail while the remaining one escaped. The police
recovered motorcycles, as well as the two guns used for
the operation from the suspects.
A police source said the robbers had an insider source
in the bank. “There is someone in the bank who usually
informs them when a customer comes to collect huge
money. The way they came, it was clear that they had
information and knew exactly who to target.
“The suspect that was arrested has earlier killed a
policeman and he was the one who shot the inspector,”
the source said.
