During the operation, a police officer, a road safety officer and a civilian lost their lives.
An eye witness who spoke to us under the condition of anonymity said;
“The robbers forced their way into the banking hall with dynamite and carted away a huge amount of money in ‘Ghana must go bag,’”
Private car owners and public transport drivers travelling across Ado-Iyin-Aramoko-Efon road had to take a detour to prevent being caught in the fracas.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Sunday Abutu, while confirming the robbery incident said the deceased were shot outside the bank premises.
He also stressed that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
