Nigeria - Armed men invade bank in Ikorodu

Suspected armed robbers Wednesday morning invaded a major commercial bank at Ogolonto area of Ikorodu, a Lagos suburb, scaring people away with gunshots.
This attack is coming barely three weeks after a group of armed robbers attacked two commercial banks -First and Wema banks- in Ikorodu.
It was learnt that the bank is located close to Dangote factory in the area, just as sources said the hoodlums have held the area hostage for close to an hour.

Although a security source last week told The Nation that the hoodlums who invaded the two banks have been uncovered and would soon be arrested, there may be a possibility that the robbers could be the same people.
The Police in a tweet on its handle PoliceNG said ” #Ikorodu Lagos now secured after our officers responded to ?Bank robbery this morning. Police units remain on ground.”
