A gang of armed robbers on Sunday night killed two
policemen and two others in a deadly attack around World Oil Filling Station at
Ibafo, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Witnesses said the robbers, numbering about 15, came in
jeeps. On arrival, one of them shot a plain-clothed policeman straightaway.
The gunmen it was learnt engaged some policemen and vigilance
group members at the filling station in a gun duel, shooting sporadically in a
bid to crush the resistance and scare away people. As a result, bullets flew
round, hitting an unspecified number of people. Bizarrely, no reinforcement
came from Ibafo Police Station, located less than a kilometre away from the
scene.
Presently, the walls of the deserted filling station were
riddled with bullet holes as hundreds of spent bullet littered the environment;
an evidence of a horrific battle. Only few weeks ago, robbers attacked Jimken
Filling Station, a few metres away from this latest attack site, killing a
customer.
The rate of robbery operations has increased nationwide
in the past few months.
