It was a bloody Tuesday at the Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos, when a gang of heavily armed robbers attacked staff of new generation bank who were transferring money from a branch of the bank to another, killing two policemen and four others in the process.
Several other passerby sustained injuries during the escape bid of the bandits who carted away a large sum of money from the bank staff.
An eyewitness reported that the bandits positioned themselves at a strategic location in the market and opened fire on sighting them, killing the policemen and a yet to be identified woman on the spot before snatching the money.
The bandits were also said to have shot indiscriminately in a bid to escape which led to the death of three other persons whose identities are yet to be ascertained.
Some of them blamed the bank for not providing enough security while making huge cash transfer, while others called on the police authorities to track down the hoodlums.
According to sources, police had commenced investigation into the incident, saying some officials of the bank have been arrested.
