Gunmen on Friday attacked a new generation bank in Iyin
Ekiti area of Ekiti State.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Sunday Abutu,
confirmed the incident to Channels Television via a phone call.
He said no casualty has been confirmed, adding that the police
team is working to launch a manhunt for the criminal gang.
Sources said the armed robbers, numbering close to 10, carted
away large sums of money after blowing up the security door to gain
access.
Residents of the town and travellers in transit reportedly
scampered for safety following the sporadic gunshots that
accompanied the arrival of the gang.

The operation was said to have lasted for at least 40
minutes without any police interruption, raising questions
about the absence of security operatives despite the presence of a
police station in the town and the nearness of other police
stations in bordering towns.
Just a few days ago, the State Police Command had asked
residents to be cautious, warning of the presence of suspected
armed hoodlums planning to cause panic.
The police authorities, however, gave the assurance that the
Force is committed to saving lives and properties.
