Suspected robbers on Thursday invaded a branch of a first generation bank in Ifaki Ekiti in Ido Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State and operated for about 20 minutes.
Our correspondent learnt that the robbers stormed the town in four vehicles and attacked the police station in the town before the bank.
However, it was not clear if anybody was killed or injured.
A source in the town told our correspondent that an undisclosed amount of money was carted away from the bank by the hoodlums numbering about 10.
The attack forced other banks and shops in the town to close abruptly with the Ado/Ifaki Road and Ifaki/Oye Road deserted.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sotonye Wakama, told our corespondent that nobody was killed in the operation.
He said, “The robbers came in four vehicles and attacked a police station and the bank. We closed down the whole state and our men pursued the hoodlums and caught up with them at Aramoko.”
