On Thursday, February 24, armed robbers invaded four banks in Uromi, the capital of Edo State’s Esan North-East Local Government Area, and collected 35 million Naira.
According to reports, Ubiaja youths were able to block Ubiaja Road near the train line shortly after the robbers fled the scene, forcing the bandits to leave their cash-laden trucks and flee on motorcycles.
The cash and vehicles were recovered, and the money was transferred to the Ubiaja police station, where the total amount counted so far was N35 million.
Confirming this development, Bello Kotongs, spokesperson of the state police command said the recovered money was currently in the custody of the police.
