Robbers raid Imo Airport, escape with N20m
Suspected armed robbers this morning raided a micro finance bank located in the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport, as well as the offices of Arik and Air Peace Airlines in Imo State.
Over N20m and other valuables were said to have been carted away in the robbery that lasted just a few minutes.
According to an eye witness, the armed robbers who besieged the airport in two unmarked vehicles, overpowered the security men attached to the bank.
The source who stated that the noise of banging of doors and windows by the robbers coupled with their gunshots scared people away from the scene.
An employee of Arik, who didn’t want to be named, said their offices were broken into, company and personal valuables of the workers were stolen.
He said, “We are still in shock how the robbers could have been able to operate freely without being challenged, with the number of security men at the Airport, calls for serious concern because if the Airport cannot be safe, where else can be.”
Meanwhile when contacted, the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, who confirmed the incident, however, said it was a case of burglary.
According to him, “We got the report that some hoodlums broke into a Micro Finance Bank at the airport, but we did not get any report that they removed cash and no one was killed or wounded.
“Already investigation is ongoing and the the two security men attached to the bank are currently being interrogated.”
