Robbery In Offa - 15 Policemen, Bankers, Bystanders Killed
Armed robbers stormed Offa, Kwara State around 4:30pm on Thursday 19th December, 2013 and attacked commercial banks in the area.They came fully armed with various guns and explosives with that they blew open the doors of First bank and GTbank.
They gained entry into Ecobank by way of a side door without the usage of explosives.
It had been said that they didn't get money from a few of the banks because it was past closing time and a few of the banks have moved their cash to the vault.
GTbank was worst hit as everyone was killed in the banking hall. As of times I'm posting this we're uncertain if the casualties are customers or Bankers, but because the robbery took place after working hours (9am-2pm in Offa) it's assumed they're bankers.
The robbers also took to the road killing innocent those who mistakenly ran into them once the robbery began. Additionally they visited the authorities station at Owode where they killed some Policemen and even people in the cell.
Death toll is considered about 15 people.
I've walked into town and seen blood on the streets where people died and the havoc wreked at the banks. I'll upload pictures in the morning.
RIP to the dead.
Obviously no bank will open for business again in Offa till next year.
