Gunmen suspected to be armed on Wednesday attacked an Army patrol van in Edo State, killing a soldier and carting away sacks believed to have been loaded with cash.

Three soldiers were said to have been in the military vehicle that was heading towards Ikpoba Hill when the robbers struck at the traffic lights along Akpakpava Road by First Junction around 2.10 pm.

The suspects drove an unmarked Toyota Camry car against the traffic facing the military vehicle as two of the four occupants allegedly alighted and opened fire on the soldiers

The three soldiers were said to have abandoned their patrol vehicle and the sacks as they took to their heels.

Eyewitnesses said the armed men took the bags from the patrol van after the soldiers had fled.

A shop owner said, “One of the three soldiers fell while running away, he tried to get up, but he couldn’t, he was bleeding. Later, his two other colleagues came to meet him but they were helpless.”

ed, the Public Relations Officer, 4 Brigade Nigerian Army headquarters, Benin City, Captain Yusuf Sokoya, simply said, “I will find out if it is true. Don’t call again, I will call you.”

He said, “The Edo State Police Command can confirm that a soldier was killed on Wednesday in Benin City.

“A good Nigerian reported the incident at the police station covering that neighbourhood. The hoodlums carted away bags believed to have been loaded with cash kept inside the Army van.”

Soldiers should always be in the barracks.

Security operatives should regard everybody around them as suspects and always expect the unexpected to avoid being taken unawares.......Some of them are too relaxed whenever they're on patrol.


Last month at my work place I saw an army captain shouting at one of his boys to drop his earpiece and powerbank. They were sent on patrol and the soldier was bouncing as if he was heading to the club. Things like that can cause distraction.

Hmmmmm

The robbers were obviously tipped. Imagine soldiers seeing an oncoming vehicle driving against traffic and not sensing trouble

Hmmm

Not the real story
I have been waiting for this news.

It happened at Dawson junction Akpakpava near the traffic light.

They were 2 soldiers, they came to buy electrical materials at igbesanman.

Those men trailed them there, they were on mask, shot one and took the other away.

Eye witness report.
The boy at the electrical shop confirmed they just finished buying things few minutes ago before it happened.

Police later came and surrounded every where that day.

Even at sakponba road they mount road dey check people.

By the the devilish APC party is done destroying this country, nobody will be spared.

Rip to the victim.

Interesting...


Wittyness

Same army wey wan go fight

1. Pictures would have ed a better message.

2. How did "armed men" know that a military vehicle was carrying cash?

Make military ask themselves.

3.

The three soldiers were said to have abandoned their patrol vehicle and the sacks as they took to their heels.

After all, soldier de fear to die. When they see civilians that they want to beat, they will behave as if they are invincible.

Without gun, all these people are just like every other person on the street

😫😫😫😫😫

Inside job

Killing a soldier is unforgivable, may the armed men be caught.
