FIVE persons were feared dead yesterday after an 11-man robbery gang
stormed a first generation bank in Agbor, Ika South Local Government
Area, carting away millions of naira.
The Nation gathered that the gang,
armed with sophisticated weapons blew-up the bank vault. An eye witness
account said the bank robbers shot sporadically into the air to scare
bystanders. Customers who had besieged the banking hall particularly to
make withdrawal for the weekend scampered for safety, it was learnt. The
incident which occurred in the morning lasted several minutes without
any challenge from the security agents located a few meters from the
Divisional Police Headquarters Agbor. Several people were reportedly
