Three persons, including a policeman, were killed on Thursday as armed robbers stormed a bank in Ilara-Mokin, Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Sources disclose the criminals operated for several hours without any resistance from security operatives. It was gathered that they used dynamite to blow off the doors and other security-coded vaults within the bank to cart away an unspecified amount of money.
Reports indicate a journalist identified as Olubunmi Afuye and a commercial motorcyclist were also killed during the raid.
Afuye had recently resigned from one of the state government media stables to join a private university in the town as the Public Relations Officer (PRO).
As of the time of filing this report, it has not been ascertained how much the robbers succeeded in carting away and what other valuables were stolen.
Normalcy has however returned to the area as residents go about their business.
