Armed robbers struck again at Ilawe-Ekiti in Ekiti South West Local Government Area of Ekiti, killing a policeman and a bank staff in the attack.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the raid on the bank in the community was coming barely three weeks after a similar incident at a first generation bank in Ifaki Ekiti in which a policeman died.
A bank staff and some other persons were said to have sustained injuries in the incident which lasted about one hour.
An eyewitness said the robbers stormed the bank, which is located close to the Alawe’s Palace, at about 3.pm and operated unhindered, shooting sporadically into the air.
They reportedly blew up the bank’s security door with dynamite before gaining entrance and carting away an unspecified amount of money.
The dynamite, it was learnt, also blew up a Toyota Camry car parked in the vicinity of the bank.
