See how they were operating easily as if that point was in their compound. No security to put them on their toes.... Oh, nobody wants to die for anybody. Then we are seriously in a big mess

Hammyaladin:
hmmm. But Edo was the state were the first jail break took place last yr, right?

Yes. When criminals took advantage of the ENDSARS protest, which was against criminal policemen.

MYMINDER:
This is not a movie script. Where crime is, the police should go and confront it.

Hmm well, maybe you wouldn't be so sure of the approach you suggest if you had ever been caught up in a crossfire with rounds whistling past your head and shattering concrete all around you.

Rita33:




How's that your headache?

You no look beautiful like that.

Afolavid:
Just few weeks ago, some also ambushed a bullion van in Ibadan at a commercial location surrounded by Police barrack and Area command, yet no security operatives came to the scene until they left. Same thing happening here, robbing so many Banks simultaneously. Nigeria as a whole, is a failed village!!! Imagine people successfully engaging in high profile Armed robbery in 21st century.

Visit Los Angeles.

JuanDeDios:

Yes. When criminals took advantage of the ENDSARS protest, which was against criminal policemen.

So sad to here. Condolences..

juman:
Many of them.

Maybe the robbery that happened just of recent. But not the one that happened in about several years ago. I can't recollect the year particularly but it's definitely around 2007, 2008 at Idi Ape where they robbed almost all the banks in front of Testing Ground. Yes in front of Police station.

Most respected and delightful brother, let me share with you an experience of mine with armed robbers years ago.

At this time in Nigeria, we need a smartphone camera that can cover and zoom in a long distance.

Also happened in ile ife 2008 December during my NYSC. Life's were lost 5 banks robbed simultaneously too then. Heard they were caught 2 months later in ibadan.

Kobicove:


I learnt that something similar has happened before in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State before

iokpebholo:
My hometown.Lord have mercy..I hereby declare this government a complete and resounding failure...Imagine d whole of esan land no single fighting Armoured personel carrier...Even soldiers stationed at Taxoma junction were left helpless for over one hour when d operation lasted.First bank,UBA, unity's bank,union bank, zenith bank were all attacked simultaneously....

It is very shameful. This government is failing Nigerians seriously.

no even talk of that one , it was horrendous .. it was around 2007 I think , during intercontinental bank era

Omo NAA only union bank dem carry all those bags of money... Chaàaaàaiiiiiiiii them done cripple that branch .. union bank go close that branch

A well trained police unit of 5 men (with a two-man SAW team) would’ve disrupted (gave them heavy fire) this operation without getting anyone in the team killed. These guys are completely spread thin and I see no heavy machine gun in their gang.

donleo92:
this guys no be like normal thugs ooh.
this ones getting like professional training

these are trained security men,with the type of atrocity sars and irt officers commit going to bank is small job for them

JuanDeDios:

Fair point. Good point, in fact. But in a functioning system, a helicopter or two would have taken to the skies for a crime of this magnitude. At least, checkpoints, ambushes, and pursuits would have ensued. It's over 12 hours now. Nothing.

seems you watch too much DStv,these dare devils stakeout the area for weeks and knows every opposition point,I was in umunze when they came first and invaded the police station,army station and sars office after chasing every security men inside bush they robbed 4 banks and loaded 2 sienna full of cash and went away,

These men are too confident and cocky for my liking. Maybe the Baba were do jazz give dem follow for the movement sef.

Na these kind people were be say you go point kala to shot but kala no go answer

Don't these men look well trained in advance firearm combat to you? Look at their formation when entering the bank... that is a freaking military formation sir, underestimate these crooks at your own risk

badbreathcure101:
Edo guys are really minded oh. How do you rob over 6 banks simultaneously without getting caught.

e fit no b just Edo guys tin o... E go shock u say dey fit even get international backups, bank robbery no b child's play. And dey fire bullets like trained personnels.

DeepSight that robbery and hostage account that you posted a decade ago here is by far one of the most harrowing and brilliantly written true-life narrations that I have ever run across anywhere online. My heart was literally pounding by the time I read the first few passages in that awful and viscerally terrifying sequence of events you miraculously lived to describe.

I recall reading that post when it originally appeared, for the details stuck in my memory thereafter. Without question, the experience you endured that fateful night was more than sufficient to permanently destabilize anyone with a weaker constitution than yourself, but that said, I would still venture a guess that the PTSD of that day still lingers on in the subconscious depths of your psyche even a decade later.

It is only the lucky few who have been to hell and back unscathed that in my opinion are truly qualified to offer informed opinions when violent crime is being debated.

u no lie bro.. they seemed so proffessional and confident

Who's watching too much DSTv now? Tell me how the suggestion that our police should have basic preparedness is proof of watching too much TV. You're comparing an insurgency to a bank robbery. Of course, criminals won't storm a bank they haven't been to. That takes nothing away from what I said.

okoroemeka:

Yeah.. I totally agree bro!! its something well coordinated and planned. like how dey robbed 3banks without any confrontations from any military personnel and even had the gods to spend like 1hour in the operation.. Hmm!! those guys were prepared and were trained for it..

Infact them give their souls to the devil for this operation

This is risky. What if these guys come back and finish them in the house they're doing this recording. It's risky oo

Me sef. lol.

They look trained. That’s why I said ‘disrupt’ and not necessarily arrest them. A gun fire exchange with the right fire superiority techniques (volume {SAW} + accuracy) coordinated to the gangs center of gravity COG (the van with the most gun men) can wreck a quick havoc.
