Armed Robbers Attack 3 Banks In Offa, Kwara State, Kill 15

 

Armed robbers yesterday stormed Offa, Kwara State around 4:30pm and attacked commercial banks in the area.

Eyewitnesses report the armed robbers came fully armed with various guns and explosives with which they blew open the doors of First bank and GTbank.
They gained entry into Ecobank through a side door without the use of explosives.

It was said that they didn't get money from some of the banks as it was past closing time and some of
the banks have moved their cash into the vault.

GTbank was worst hit as people were killed inside the banking hall. Whether the casualties were customers or Bankers hasn't been confirmed yet but since the robbery took place after working hours (9am-2pm in Offa) it is assumed they are bankers.

The robbers also took to the street killing innocent people who mistakenly ran into them when the robbery began.
They also went to the police station at Owode where they killed some Policemen and even people in the cell.
Death toll is said to be about 15 people.
