Gunmen kill lady in Delta bullion van attack

Gunmen suspected to be robbers attacked a bullion van at Ubulu-Okiti along the Benin/Asaba expressway, Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State, killing one lady during the operation.

The gunmen numbering about 10, were said to have come out of a bush on citing the bullion van, shooting indiscriminately until the bullion van and the escorts stopped.

A police source, who said that the gunmen succeeded robbing the bullion van, also disclosed that a female passenger of a bus was killed by a stray bullet from the gunshot fired by one of the armed robbers.

But the source could not confirm how much the gunmen carted away.

He said that the robbery attack caused serious gridlock on the busy expressway.

Acting Police Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Mr Bright Edafe, confirmed the attack but said he was not aware of

death of the female passenger.
