Gunmen suspected to be armed robbers, Thursday, attacked a bullion van around Otor-Owhe, Isoko North Local Government Area, carting away, an undisclosed sum of money.
It was learnt that the gunmen emptied the content of the bullion van into their get-away vehicle and zoomed off to an unknown destination.
Sources said the gunmen had shot sporadically at the bullion, shattering its windscreen as its driver was forced to screech to a halt.
“Shards of broken glasses still littered the scene of the crime,” a source said
Reacting to the incident, Police Public Relations Officer of the state, command, Mr. Bright Edafe said; “No money was carted away during the billion van attack, as the bullion van was empty.
“The hoodlums escaped with gunshot injuries after a gun duel with our men.”
