A combined team of security operatives, on Saturday, gunned down an armed robber and arrested four 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. Tribune Online also gathered that one of the robbers who attempted to force his way out was shot but remained indoors with a gunshot injury. She said the prompt response to a distress call by operatives of the command foiled the attempted robbery of the bank. “The operation, with the backup of soldiers, led to the arrest of four suspects and killing of one person while trying to escape,” she said.
