LAGOS - Suspected armed robbers yesterday raided one of the car parks at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos. They shot sporadically as they carted away more than $600,000 (about N96 million) from the Bureau de Change operators.



According to a source, the suspects gained  access into the car park of the international wing and opened fire to scare away those doing  business .

 As the people scampered to safety, a woman was allegely hit by a stray bullet. She was reportedly taken to a private hospital around the airport.

One of the operators, who confirmed the theft of over $600,000, blamed the incident on the porous security at the airport.
