Reports made it known that the robbers went in their numbers, attacking motorists in traffic at the Eko bridge, linking the Costain area.
The robbers were approaching drivers of cars one after the other, robbing them of their possessions. However, when they got to a particular car, they told the occupants to wind down their windows, but they refused. This got the robbers angry, and they allegedly shot dead the two occupants.
An eyewitness, simply identified as Onwuyali, said:
“We were in a serious gridlock at the Costain area when armed robbers, who cashed in on the traffic situation started robbing motorists. Our bus was robbed, after which the robbers went to a car in front of ours. I saw one of the armed robbers, arguing with the occupants of the vehicle. I later heard about five gunshots. One of the robbers was searching the car while others were firing into the air.
“The shooting caused serious stampede, as motorists abandoned their vehicles and scampered for safety. Some courageous ones, who tried to zoom off hit other vehicles. It was when people were going to work, so the commotion was too much.”
Another witness, Joel Omojola, said:
“When we heard the gunshots, my family and I thought that they were bank robbers that raided FESTAC Town two weeks ago, so we abandoned our vehicle and took to our heels.
Recently, Nollywood star actor, Yul Edochie, recently survived armed robbers attack in Enugu.
Less than a week ago, police operatives in Rivers foiled a robbery attempt in Port Harcourt. The robbers attacked a bank but the police moved swiftly to attack them and recover the loot.
