Two old generation banks in Ile-Oluji, headquarters of Ile Oluji/Oke Igbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, were on Thursday hit by armed robbers.
The rampaging gunmen killed two policemen and two others during the attack that started around 4pm.
They were said to have used dynamites during the operations.
The spokesman of the Ondo State Police Command, CSP Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident to News Agency of Nigeria.
Joseph said: “Yes, there is a report that a group of armed robbers was at a bank in Ile-Oluji, but I cannot ascertain the number of casualties involved in the incident because I have not been properly briefed.
“But our men have been deployed to the scene to handle the situation and restore peace and order to the town.”
