Armed robbers attacked a bullion van at Elemoso village along Ondo-Akure Road in the Ondo East Local Government Area of the state.The robbers were said to have looted the bullion van and escaped with undisclosed amount of money.
The bullion van and the escort vehicle were found ridden with bullets in the incident which was said to have occurred at about 4.50pm on thursday , while the robbers made away with the cash supposedly belonging to United Bank for Africa.
An eyewitness told Punch Metro that policemen that escorted the bullion van were caught unawares after the armed robbers rained bullets on the police escort vehicle and the bullion van simultaneously.
He said,
“The policemen and the driver of the van took to their heels immediately the hoodlums opened fire on them. The operation lasted for just about seven minutes.
The speed breaker erected on the highway helped the armed men. They overtook the vans and opened fire on the policemen before they could realise what was going on. The men were better equipped because they operated with confidence.”
However a middle-aged man, simply identified as Pastor Ajah, who was coming from Ondo town ran into the rain of bullets and sustained bullet wounds. He was said to have been taken to a general hospital.
