Six persons have been confirmed dead in a robbery incident at the Ankpa, Kogi State branch of First Bank of Nigeria Plc.
Report reaching The Eagle Online from a citizen reporter is that the robbery occurred “a few hours ago.”
One of those said to have been killed in the robbery incident is a popular Ojoku Native or Trado-medical doctor, simply identified as Shaibu.
Shaibu is said to be better known as Achenyi-je.
The robbers were said to have, on arrival, shot sporadically into the air.
No staff of the bank was reported injured.
Our citizen reporter reports that most of those who witnessed the incident or have heard about it have been querying the failure of the police at Ankpa Police Station to respond to the robbery operation.
The police station is said to share the same fence with the bank that was robbed.
