The police mobilised, deploying more men to confront the hoodlums. The robbers were said to have fled when they realised that the police were determined to arrest them.
Commissioner of Police, Mrs. Kalafite Adeyemi, confirmed the incident, saying the police were on the trail of the robbers.
A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “When they saw the firepower and readiness of our men, they fled through Gbonga Road, where they killed one of our men in a patrol van at Gbongan junction.”
A customer, who was in one of the banks during the gunfight, Miss Itunu Lawanson, said panic gripped everybody in the banking hall.
Lawanson said, “Everybody ran helter-skelter. Some people ran into toilets, some hid under tables as gunfire crackled. Many hid under chairs and tables.”
After the pandemonium, which greeted the duel died down, several police vehicles were deployed in the capital city even as banks locked up for the day.
Many residents condemned the sporadic shooting by policemen in patrol vehicles after the robbers had fled.
