Gunmen steal cash in Kwara daylight robbery, driver shot

four-man armed robbery gang on Friday unleashed terror in Ilorin, Kwara State, shooting a motorist and making away with an undisclosed sum of cash believed to be packed in several cartons.

The robbery, which occurred directly opposite the Kwara State Correspondents’ Chapel office, caused panic as the masked assailants fired multiple shots before fleeing in an ash-coloured Toyota Corolla with a faded number plate.

Eyewitnesses said the robbers appeared to have trailed their victim, driving a grey Toyota Sienna marked AA 693 GT, before opening fire.

They must have followed him. They shot at his vehicle from behind and deflated his two left tyres before taking the money packed in four big cartons,” a witness said.

The victim, reportedly transporting cash for an undisclosed assignment, sustained a gunshot wound on his palm during the attack.

Confirming the incident, spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said the robbery occurred at about 11:30am.
