A resident Wale Soliu said, “Some dare devil robbers got to the scene around 2am and easily access the bank security post because they were wearing police uniform.
“They disarmed the night guards and tied them. They bombed the ATM and carted away the money inside the machine before police arrival”.
Another source disclosed that the police engaged the robbers in shoot-out at the scene before they escaped with their loot.
