2 Bank Robbers Shot Dead 
Published on February 10, 2012 by pmnews · 22 CommentsNemesis caught up with four bank robbers who were operating on two motorcycles yesterday. They were shot dead by the police during a gun fight after they had successfully robbed a bank customer of the N280,000 he had withdrawn from the bank.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the victim was trailed to a new generation bank at Ilupeju by the robbers. As he stepped out, they snatched his bag containing the money.
To scare people in the vicinity, it was gathered that the robbers started shooting sporadically into the air.
The commotion that ensued caught the attention of the chairman, Odi-Olowo-Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area, LCDA, Lagos State, Mr. Adeyemi Alli who was at a meeting with Police Command Area Commander, ACP Akpan.
Alli, who was holding a security related meeting with a team led by the ACP, urged the Area Commander’s team to give the robbers a hot chase.
Eyewitnesses told P.M.NEWS that the policemen caught up with the fleeing robbers at Oworonshoki junction on the Oshodi-Gbagada expressway.
They reportedly engaged the four robbers in a shootout during which two of them were killed and the other two arrested.
Policemen immediately recovered the bag containing the N280,000 which the victim withdrew from the bank and handed it over to the owner.
The corpses of the two dead robbers have been deposited at the Ikeja General Hospital mortuary while the two injured robbers were moved to the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja.
Meanwhile, residents of Ilupeju and the LCDA have commended the council boss, Alli for his security consciousness and the police who reacted promptly to the distress call which led to the killing and arrest of the robbers.

Baba Eko……na bad name be dat o. But he was right, he must be reacting to the Vanguard story of the same incident: six (6) robbers on two okadas, were reported. Two killed, two captured and two escaped.
@Datti, well noted.

2 NIGHTS AGO, A GUY CAME TO TAP MY CAR AT THE BIG TREAT JUNCTION BY OMOLE I WHILE WAITING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN HE REALISED MY WINDOWS WERE WOUND UP AND I SHOUTED ON HIM FROM INSIDE, HE WALKED AWAY AND I SAW HIM AT THE FAR END JOIN A WAITING BIKE, BEOFRE ANOTHER SET OF 2 CAME WITH ANOTHER BIKE FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND THEY ALL DROVE OFF WITHOUT KNOWING THAT I WAS WATCHING THEM
THANKS TO THE COUNCIL BOSS AND THE AC.
CLOSE TO 20% OF THESE GUYS ON BIKE ROBBERIES ARE EITHER SERVING OR SACKED POLICEMEN. CHECK NEWS ON BIKE ROBBERS ARRESTED OR KILLED AND YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME
Good job,u ar great force.keep it up men.

Policeman are good, when it comes to collecting N20 they collect it well, when it is time to shoot, they also shoot well, the only problem is that they can also shoot if you don’t give them the N20. Well, kudos to them, long live Nigeria
