A
GANG of four armed robbers yesterday killed three people, including a
policeman along Olu-Obasanjo Road in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Guardian gathered that the victims had just made huge withdrawal
and were heading home when they were attacked by the bandits who may
have capitalised on the perennial hold-up in that axis of the city.
Eyewitnesses said that the hoodlums, who had trailed the deceased
trio, shot directly into their car, before carting away the money.
It was further gathered that the robbers drove a Toyota Camry car,
but because of the thick traffic, parked few metres away from the Rivers
Transport Company (RTC) and walked to their targets’ vehicle.
The identity of the dead police escort, however, could not be ascertained as at press time.
According an eyewitness who gave his name as Emma, “the police escort
was the main target of the robbery gang, because they first shot him
dead, before killing the driver of the Honda car and the owner of the
large sum,” he said.
Another eyewitness said: “The hoodlums parked at the back because of
traffic; they then trekked to where the Honda car they attacked was
parked and killed the official, the policeman and the driver instantly.
