•3 cops, 1 lastma, 3 others dead as hoodlums shoot round Lagos.
Dare-devil robbers rattled Lagos yesterday, killing three policemen, one lastma
and three civilians. The robbers, who operated in a black Sport Utility
Vehicle (SUV), also injured three other civilians as they unleashed
terror on different areas of the metropolis. One of the civilians, a
bureau de-change operator, was shot in Agege.
The robbers were said to have started their operations from the
Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, killing a commercial motorcycle rider in
Ijesha area. The robbers were said to have proceeded to Bariga, where
they raided a commercial bank and carted away unspecified amount of
money. They left Agege for Ogba but seeing that the police had
barricaded the area, they began shooting sporadically, injuring many.
The robbers, made a detour and were retreating through the Oba Akran
Road, when they sighted a police patrol team. They intercepted the van
and rained bullets on the policemen.
