No fewer than three people were killed and several others wounded
including a police officer, after unknown gunmen suspected to be armed
robbers attacked a Zenith bank branch in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
Eye witness accounts say the armed robbers, numbering about 12,
invaded the bank at about 2:00 pm on Wednesday and shot sporadically
into the air to scare customers away after over-powering the security
operatives on duty.
Channels Television had reported that the men carted away a yet to
be disclosed amount of money, and so far, three people who are yet to be
identified, have been confirmed dead after the operation which lasted
several hours.
Confirming the incident, the Imo State Police Public Relations
Officer Andrew Enwerem, said the command is however on top of the
situation.
According to him, one of the armed robbers who was shot by the
police, as well as other people who were wounded at the scene, have been
transferred to the Federal Medical Centre Owerri for immediate
treatment.
