A tragic bank robbery in Benue claims the lives of seven individuals, including a policewoman.

A tragic incident unfolded in the Otukpo area of Benue State, resulting in the loss of seven lives, including that of a dedicated policewoman named Emmanuella Ankyov.

Reports indicate that a group of suspected robbers descended upon Otukpo town at approximately 3:10 pm, unleashing a reign of terror that persisted for over an hour. Their nefarious actions commenced with a brazen attack on the Otukpo Police Station, where they managed to disarm the law enforcement officers. Following this audacious move, the criminals went on to target the local banks, indiscriminately firing their weapons, causing chaos and fear to grip the community.

The banks, conveniently situated in close proximity to the town’s bustling market, further exacerbated the pandemonium as alarmed traders hastily sought refuge from the ensuing violence.

Eyewitnesses described the robbers utilizing a fleet of vehicles, including two Hilux trucks and another smaller car, to facilitate their criminal activities.

In the wake of this tragic event, the online community has seen an outpouring of grief as friends, family members, and colleagues have taken to social media platforms, particularly Facebook, to mourn the loss of the courageous policewoman and the other victims of this devastating incident.
