Gunmen Attack Bank Depositor in Oyo, Injure Police Officer

Residents of Oyo State were thrown into panic on Monday when a group of armed men attacked a bank depositor shortly after he withdrew a large sum of money. The incident occurred near a commercial bank in the state capital, leaving one police officer injured.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants, numbering about four, trailed the victim from the banking hall before intercepting him a few meters away. They fired several gunshots into the air to scare passersby before dispossessing the man of the money he had just withdrawn.

Security operatives on patrol quickly responded to the distress call and engaged the robbers in a brief gun duel. Unfortunately, a police officer sustained gunshot injuries during the exchange and was immediately rushed to the hospital for treatment.

While the robbers escaped with the stolen cash, police authorities have confirmed that efforts are ongoing to track down the culprits. The Oyo State Police Command has also urged members of the public to remain calm and assist law enforcement with any useful information.

The incident has raised fresh concerns over the safety of bank customers in the state, as many residents continue to express fear about increasing cases of robbery targeting depositors around financial institutions.

Authorities have since intensified security surveillance around banks and major financial areas to prevent a recurrence.
