Policemen fled the scene of a robbery in Delta, discarding their uniforms when the bank they were securing was beseiged by robbers.
Tragedy struck today as unknown gunmen shot a middle-aged man who came to deposit money in a bank at Asaba, Delta state. The bank customer who died while being rushed down to the hospital, was shot at a close range after he refused letting go of the bag, that contained the large sum of money he came to deposit.
He later died on the way to the hospital.

According to an eyewitness account:

“Three of them sat close to my shop for hours, before a man was coming towards the bank and they quickly walked towards the man (victim) who carried a black Bagco bag of money and started dragging the bag with him at gun point while urging him to release the bag.

“We saw them dragging the money with the man, I thought it was one of the movie scenes, you know these Nollywood people do use Asaba very well for acting movies.
“But before we knew it, they shot the man. It was at this point that everyone, including the policemen took to our heel while the victim held on the bag of money and struggled into the bank where he fell on the ground.

The bank thieves left the money bag which the deceased held on to after he was shot and drove off immediately. The body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC).

“They were in the car for sometime before the car refused to start to immediately. But nobody, not even armed policemen who had removed their uniforms dared to challenged them until they finally zoomed” the eyewitness who pleaded anonymity added.

The Sun reports that the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, has confirmed the incident, and also said the incident was already being investigated.

naija.. The most decorated zoo in the world.. And those policemen will receive their monthly pay for doing wilywily and been bloody dodgers of their responsiblities..
I really pity anyone who thinks our so-called security forces are there to protect us especially the average Nigerian, just like the southern kaduna people think the military personnel been mobilised there on a daily basis are there to genuinely protect them from the menancing attacks of their fulani neighbours while infact they are there to re-cordinate, streamline and advance the ultimate goal of cleansing, striking fear, and breaking the will of the people of southern kaduna, instead of taking proactive measures into their hands like Jos did before sanity was restored.. Naija, a real comedy relieve indeed
