ARMED ROBBERS INVADED ALAAFIA ESTATE WITH POS IN CASE OF CASH LESS

No fewer than six (6) people have sustained severe injuries after some armed robbers invaded Alaafia Estate in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The incident occurred between the late hours of Sunday and early hours of Monday.

Our correspondent gathered that about twenty armed robbers stormed the estate around 11pm on Sunday night and operated till around 2pm on Monday morning.

They dispossessed residents of valuables running into millions of naira.

During the robbery operation, six residents of the area were wounded.

DAILY POST gathered that the armed robbers had earlier robbed a Superintendent of Police and three flats a few days ago.

Our correspondent, however, learnt that the armed robbers mobilised more gang members in a more deadly robbery where they carted away money, laptops, mobile phones and ATM card after obtaining their Personal Identification Numbers (PIN).

Sources told DAILY POST that the robbers gained entry into the estate through the recently dredged Carnal linking Barika, Agbowo and Orogun.

It was gathered that the armed robbers divided themselves and robbed concurrently in House numbers 33, 31, 25 among others.

Some of those who were injured during the robbery operation include Peter in House 33, who sustained machete cuts on his left hand.

Mr. Peter’s wife was said to have been beaten with a machete by the armed robbers.
