BANK ROBBERY VICTIM KILL ROBBER IN OYO
An attempt by a two-man robbery gang to
dispossess a bank customer of N900,000 ended
tragically for one of them as he was crushed by
their victim’s vehicle.
Crime Reports learnt that one Alhaji (name
withheld) recently went to a bank at Iwo Road
area of Ibadan, Oyo State to withdraw the cash,
after which he drove out of the bank premises in
his Nissan Pathfinder Sport Utility Vehicle.
Unknown to him, he had been sighted by the two
armed robbers who had mounted surveillance
around the bank, in search of victims.
It was further gathered that the two armed gang
members immediately followed the Alhaji on their
operational motorcycle. On getting to Alakia area
of the city, it was reliably gathered, the hoodlums
blocked the Pathfinder with their motorcycle, drew
a gun and shot at their victim’s leg, demanding
for the money he just withdrew from the bank.
Shocked by the unexpected confrontation, Alhaji
was reported to have fumbled to retrieve the
money from where he kept it, but the armed
robbers who felt he was deliberately using delay
tactics to outwit them shot him the second time.
This was said to have discomfited the man who
engaged the reverse gear and pressed hard on the
throttle. In the process, one of the armed robbers
was hit and he died instantly. Seeing that his
partner in crime had been brought down, the other
robber was reported to have fled.
The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State,
Kolawole Shodipo, told Crime Reports that an
English Beretta pistol with four rounds of 0.9mm
ammunition, among other items, was recovered
from the dead armed robber.
