Some unidentified armed men on Thursday hijacked a bullion van in Ibadan, Oyo state.
According to reports, the armed robbers killed scores of people including two policemen during the attack.
The robbers were said to have attacked the van at the Iwo Road area of Ibadan. It was gathered that the bullion van was attacked shortly after it left one of the banks in Ibadan, located a few metres away from the Testing Ground Police station.
Sources at the scene claimed that two police officers escorting the bullion van were killed during the attack.
“The armed robbers attacked a vehicle conveying money at Idi-Ape. It happened at that junction where traffic light was,” a resident said.
“Some lives were lost but I don’t know the exact number. The situation is terrible!,” the resident was quoted as saying.
