The robbers numbering about forty, some dressed as women, invaded the usually peaceful estate, shooting sporadically into the air to scare people who came to transact business in the banks that lines a section of the estate.
An eyewitness said that the robbers came with explosives, which they used in breaking the strong room.
The robbers also tried to break into the nearby Guaranty Trust Bank but couldn’t gain access into the bank.
Several people were injured during the robbery including a pregnant woman who was also shot in the leg. The woman has been taken to the hospital for treatment.
The robbers got away through a nearby water way in speed boats. Men of the Nigerian Police Force and the Navy were seen searching the area with helicopters and speed boats.
