ABEOKUTA—TRANS-BORDER robbers Thursday unleashed mayhem in Ilaro and Ifo areas of Yewa South and Ifo local governments of Ogun state, killing an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, identified as Peter, and three others after raiding some banks.
The gang, numbering about12, stormed the areas in four vehicles and were said to have carted away undisclosed sum of money.
Vanguard gathered that at Ilaro, the bandits engaged the combined Police team led by the late ASP in a gun battle.
According to sources, the robbers stormed Ilaro, at noon and operated unhindered for over one hour.
During the raid, the robbers were said to have unleashed terror on three new generation banks.
At the end of the siege, two females and a young man were killed while several others received bullet wounds.
Vanguard gathered that the robbers escaped from Ilaro through Abalabi, via Ibogun to Ilogbo area in Ifo where they were confronted by the Police.
The resultant gun battle led to the killing of the senior Police officer.
They subsequently headed towards Sango.
However, it was gathered that the 192 Battalion Army Owode Yewa released some of its men to go after the robbers, as it was earlier speculated that they were escaping through Idogo into the neighbouring Benin Republic.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi who hinted the robbery incident at Ilaro, hinting that the Command was laying ambush for them.
