Armed men went on a rampage in Ikire and Apomu in the Irewole and Isokan local government areas of Osun State on Wednesday evening, killing five persons in attacks of two banks and a police station.
The robbers reportedly invaded the two communities around 6pm, shooting sporadically.
The bullets they fired reportedly injured many other residents, apart from those killed during the attacks.
It was gathered that the armed robbers had earlier robbed a bank in Apomu town around 3pm before proceeding to Ikire where they killed three persons at a commercial bank’s automated teller machine.
Also, two other persons were said to have been killed in the community during the sporadic shooting.
Police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed the attacks, said she could not give the casualty figure, adding that the Commissioner of Police, Olawale Olokode, was already at the scene of the incident.
