It was indeed, a very sad day for the Nigeria Police on Sunday, November 17, as three of its gallant officers lost their lives while battling heavily armed robbers who stormed the Ipaja, Lagos branch of the Aig Imokhuede-led Access Bank.
The victims included an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), attached to the Ayobo Police Division, Longus Amuzie and two yet-to-be identified policemen. SHOWBIZPLUS gathered that the ugly incident occurred around midnight on Sunday, while the dare-devil robbers were attempting to break open an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the bank and a distress call was sent to the policemen.
"On sighting the policemen in a patrol van, the robbers opened fire, killing at least three policemen on the spot. The other policemen immediately engaged the robbers in a gun duel that lasted for several minutes," stated an eyewitness. While confirming the incident, Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, disclosed that four of the robbers were arrested, while the others escaped with bullet wounds.
