According to Sahara Reporters, the robbers stormed the bank at Ogbagi Akoko in the afternoon on Tuesday, March 7.

The robbers reportedly ordered customers to lay on the floor before getting access into the vault.

Three persons reportedly died in the attack including security officials.

The source said: “The armed robbers killed the security officers attached to Skye Bank because they refused to cooperate with them during the operation.

Femi Joseph who is the spokesperson of the Ondo state police command confirmed the incident.

He said: “I am still getting details of the event and I will get back to you.”
