No fewer than forty
heavily armed robbers, yesterday morning, invaded two second generation banks
in 4th Avenue, Festac area of Lagos state and carted away huge sums of money. During the operation
which lasted hours, a two-year-old toddler, Mmesoma Ndirika, and her mother,
Jane, who were inside their apartment in an adjoining building, were reportedly
hit by stray bullets from the bandits who were shooting sporadically in all
directions.
Reports
said both mother and child later died as a result of injuries they sustained
from the bullet. A commercial motorcyclist who was also hit by
stray bullets reportedly died later in an undisclosed private hospital.
It
took the Police more than one and half hours to respond.
