Robbers Attack Bullion Van In Ondo, Shoot Policeman

A couple of armed robbers attacked a bullion van along the Akure/Owo Highway in Ondo State on Wednesday, shooting a policeman in the process.

Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, DCP Funmi Odunlami, disclosed that the attack took place close to Emure-Ile junction along the highway.

According to Odunlami, the robbers were unable to cart away any funds as the bullion van was not carrying any cash when they struck.

A team of policemen has however been deployed to the area to apprehend the armed robbers and the injured policeman is being treated at a nearby hospital.
