Gunmen Kill Seven, Injure Others In Fresh Plateau Attack

A group of gunmen has attacked one Abu Sifau while he was in his car in the Sabo-Oke area of Ilorin, the Kwara State Capital, carting away over N6 million from his vehicle.

According to This Day, eyewitness accounts stated that the incident which occurred on Monday was carried out at about 1pm in the full glare of residents, shop owners, and pedestrians around the area.

The gunmen, numbering four, wore masks and fired gunshots to scare people away before pouncing on their target.

One of the eyewitnesses narrated that the attackers, who were in a Toyota Camry car, had trailed the Lexus car marked: ”Sarkin Samarin Bacita’ on the number plate with two occupants at the time of the incident.”

He said: ”The car should be that of a traditional title holder in Bacita in Edu Local Government Area of state.”

The car was on the street with two people in the vehicle when suddenly the Toyota Camry with about four guys in masks and heavily armed, overtook it, forcing the car to stop and made for the bag containing the money.

The eyewitness, who stated that no one was injured in the attack, added that some police officers later accompanied the two victims to the scene of the robbery to carry out an on-the-spot investigation.

Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi who confirmed the incident, said that the matter has been directed to the state Criminal Investigation Department(CID) for discreet investigation.
