EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT:
“I witnessed a broad daylight robbery 10 minutes ago. A black bullion van was attacked. All the tyres of the van were shot at but the driver did not stop. “Gunmen in Siena and carrying AK47 were shooting sporadically in front of Blenco between Ajah-Ado Road. Commuters using route should be cautious and alert.”
The armed robbers started firing the van from a distance but the driver refused to stop until he got to Blenco Supermarket area with his tires all bursted by bullets”.
The Lagos state commissioner of police, Hakeem Odumosu, says information on the attack on bullion van is sketchy but said that the corpse of a man identified as a motorcyclist whose bike laid nearby was seen while the other person’s blood was alleged to have stained the ground.
Lagos Police boss Hakeem Odumosu said: “I am yet to get detailed information from the Area commander but so far, we have not received any report on the death.”
