2 Policemen Killed in Bank Robbery From George Oji in Abuja Two police men lost their lives and three others wounded yesterday by a gang of armed robbers who robed a bank at the highbrow Asokoro area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. The robbers, according to the Force Public Relations Officer, Police Commissioner Chris Olakpe, operated in two private cars and were armed with very sophisticated weapons. While the first policeman was killed at the bank premises, the second was killed while he was to prevent the robbers from escaping. Eyewitnesses told THISDAY that in addition to the two police personnel killed, two civilians also lost their lives in the incident while several others were wounded. He said even though information got to the police while the robbers were still operating at the bank, there was not much the police could do to apprehend the robbers numbering 11, as they were armed with superior weapons. He said when the police tried to challenge the robbers, they were scared by their fire power. "You need to see what happened here today, it was as if this place was a battle ground. The robbers were spreading the whole place with bullets ceaselessly you'd think we were at a war front.
