Armed men on Thursday evening invaded Igarra, the headquarters of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of Edo State and killed about 12 persons in their bid to rob two commercial banks.
The robbers had earlier attacked the local police station where they shot and killed a policeman on duty with two detainees while also setting the only vehicle on sight a Toyota Hilux on fire.
They then proceeded to attack the banks. The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the incident but said information about the attack was still sketchy
