Three people have been allegedly shot dead by armed robbers during their raid at a bank in Igede, headquarters of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State. The victims were, two workers of the bank and a security guard.
Police spokesman Caleb Ikechukwu who confirmed the incident said men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) responded almost immediately with exchanged gunfire with the robbers.
Ikechukwu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the robbers later fled the scene and were pursued by the SARS men until they escaped into a thick forest at a location between Igede and Ilawe.
He also revealed that the guard, who was shot in the head died within the premises of the bank while the injured staff died in the hospital.
Residents of the area disclosed that the robbers halted human and vehicular traffic and positioned themselves within and outside the bank premises and shot sporadically in the air. This threw members of the community into heavy panic and unrest.
