Some robbers wearing military uniform opened fire on a
Bullion van belonging to the Central Bank of Nigeria
near a military checkpoint in Riyom Plateau state
yesterday.
The dare devils reportedly killed 2 police escorts and
injured 3 staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
According to Plateau State Police Spokesperson Terna
Tyopev, the robbers were unable to cart away money
from the bullion van as police men engaged them in an
intense fire fight at Hawan Kibo.
The deceased policemen were part of the Plateau State
security outfit, “Operation Rainbow,” attached to Riyom
Local Government.
Hawan Kibo is a dangerous location which has, for many
years, served as safe haven for armed robbers. It is a
bushy and rocky area with a very difficult terrain. Hawan
Kibo is not far from military check-points in Riyom.
