Armed Robbers Invaded Police Station, Disarmed Them Before Storming a Nearby Bank

Yesterday, a gang of armed robbers numbering about 25 to 30 invaded Makarfi Divisional Police Station, the headquarters of Makarfi Local Government Council of Kaduna State and disarmed all the policemen at the station.

The robbers who were heavily armed with sophisticated weapons also used explosives to put fear in the mind of security agents, before they later moved to the bank (about 100 metres away) and started shooting and throwing explosives

A policeman who spoke on condition of anonymity said that:

“As far as I know, no one was injured, though they beat up some of us. I also heard they could not get any money from the bank.
“I want you to please tell government to give us surveillance and communication equipment. We are just here facing danger everyday. If the armed robbers had wanted, they could have killed all of us, because they had better arms, and were more in number.”
