Corps members were attacked yesterday afternoon June 26th along Ekpoma
road in Edo state.
One of the victims of the robbery told LIB that the
incident happened when members of the NCCF Edo state from Auchi were on
their way to Benin
for NCCF Edo state conference. But on getting to Ekpoma, they started
hearing gun-shots and before they knew what was happening, thin-looking
fierce men with sophisticated guns began firing
gun-shots directly at the bus they were traveling in. Two Corps members
were shot but fortunately, it wasn't fatal. More pics after the cut...
The armed men made the Corpers come out of the vehicle and lie in the mud in the middle of the
express-way where they kept demanding for money and other valuable
items and also kept hitting some of them with the back of their
guns. The Corpers were robbed of their money, phones, laptop. The ones who were shot are currently in
Central Hospital, Benin receiving medical treatment.
Can the government please do something about this road as it has become a norm for armed
robbery activities.
