Daredevil armed robbers on Thursday afternoon attacked a bullion van in Idi Ape area along Iwo Road in Ibadan, Oyo State, killing two policemen while four civilians sustained gun shot injuries.
The civilians, including a woman and a child were hit by stray bullets in their cars.
An Okada man was also shot by the robbers.
It was learnt that the robbers fired several shots at the escort van in a bid to intercept the bullion van and cart away the cash.
Both the escort and the bullion vans were demobilised by the fire power of the robbers, but it was not clear whether they succeeded in carting away the cash.
Westernpost gathered that one of the robbers was shot dead but his corpse was taken away by his colleagues.
Banks in the area have since closed down as security agencies including the army pursue the fleeing robbers.
