It was a well planned operation by bandits. The dare-devil robbers, numbering about 50, stormed Auchi, Edo State, in a bus and three Camry cars loaded with dynamites and bombs. They unleashed mayhem on three new generation banks and one old generation bank. As it seemed, the robbers were familiar with Auchi, buttressing the argument by many that they may have been in town for about two weeks plotting this attack. They started the attack around 6:30 pm when security operatives were either praying in the mosques or handing over to those on night shift.
