One killed, three arrested as police, soldiers foil attempted armed robbery in AbujaA combined security operatives, on Saturday, gunned down a armed robber and arrested three others when they invaded a first generation bank in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Witnesses told Tribune Online that the armed robbers stormed the bank, and shot sporadically into the air to scare away people. The security personnel have smoked some of the armed robbers out, while three have been arrested and one killed. A combined team of armed soldiers and special anti-robbery squad of Nigeria Police are all on the ground as at the time of filing this report. “Ladi quickly excused himself to buy water when the robbers arrested the security guard and commenced operation,” he said.
