Hell was let lose on Saturday in Ifo
community in Ifo local government area
of Ogun State when armed robbers,
numbering about 20, invaded the area
and killed six people including five
operatives of the Ogun State Vigilante
Service.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that the robbers
were members of a gang that
specialized in robbing banks and allied
institutions.
The robbers, who allegedly operated in
an unmarked lorry, entered a filling
station and shot the five men of the
Vigilante Service guarding the place.
One of the petrol station attendants was
also said to be unlucky as the robbers
bullets hit him and he died on the spot.
The robbers were reportedly said to
have engaged men of the State Anti-
Robbery Squad (SARS) in a gun duel
before they escaped.
When contacted, the Ogun State Police
Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident but
stressed that only two persons were
killed.
