All hell was let lose at Idi Ape are of Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State on Thursday morning as armed robbers trailed and attacked a bullion van killing at least one policeman and injuring others.
It was gathered that the Idi-Ape area of Iwo Road was deserted while the operation by the hoodlums lasted.
“The armed robbers attacked a vehicle conveying money at Idi-Ape. It happened at that junction where traffic light was,” he said.
“Some lives were lost but I don’t know the exact number. The situation is terrible!”
Another person said the bullion van was successfully hijacked, but none of the accounts could be confirmed as of the time of filing this report, as the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Adewale Adefeso, could not be reached.
The resident said motorists parked by the roadside and occupants fled to different places to avoid being shot by the hoodlums.
He said policemen from the Area Command at Testing Ground, Iwo Road, came to the scene.
PMParrot can also confirm that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mrs Ngozi Onadeko has since visited the scene.
