Episode 2
Almost as he was saying that, about two
policemen ran out of the backdoor and were
shot down without a moment’s hesitation while
the two men outside continued shoot
sporadically.
Three of the men ran through the back door and
followed it down until they reached the door
where the money enters. The first person to get
there looked up and saw a particularly fat man
jumping over the fence through the security wire
and paid no attention to him.
“He is probably a customer scared out of his
mind” he thought to himself as his two
companions left him there to keep watch and
walked back.
“How is the back door?” one of those left asked
“All clear” and two men went over to the bank’s
security door.
There were people lying down all around the door
as they were those trying to get inside before
the armed men came. One man had a bag
beside him and was clutching hard to it sweating
profusely like he was on heat. He was notice by
one of the remaining two walking around the
compound and he collected the bag from him.
“What is inside the bag?” he demanded.
“Erm…. Sir sir sir” was all the man could say as
there was a mixture of fear, shock and confusion
in his voice. The bag was opened and the
contents turned out to be money. The man was
left unharmed but the bag was carried and put
at the gate where the two men were still
shooting at irregular intervals to scare people.
“Okay Sunday and Monday, get started” and two
of them went to the door and started lining the
edges with some strange material.
They worked for about 60 seconds and they
walked back. Some seconds later, a loud
explosion rocked the whole area and the door to
the bank went crashing into the ground with
cement fragments from the door falling around
the people lying down around. The security door
was so strong that no part of the glass body was
broken but since it was cemented into the wall,
the explosion blew the wall and weakened the
joint hence the door fall outwards. All four of
them then entered the banking hall.
“Everybody get down” the first man to enter
screamed but he really did not have to have
done that as the people inside had already laid
down on their faces. Some were completely quiet
and some were breathing soheavily, you could
hear amidst the orders by one of the armed
men.
Another series of gunshot was heard from the
road and another from the area of the back door
as the men there continued to keep watch over
this places and tell intending‘visitors’ to stay
away.
“Where are the bank’s staff? If you are a staff
here, move to my left” one of them shouted but
no one responded.
“Seems we have a set of disloyal staff here
another said. If you don’t obey us now, we will
just have to search your pockets and anyone we
find anything on will be shot”
6 men and 2 ladies moved cautiously but slowly
towards the left of the banking hall as the armed
man smiled to himself.
“Where is the manager? We are his guests today
and he has to entertain us”
While that was said, one of them moved towards
the bulk room and threw a kick into it. The door
flew open and he entered. Some seconds later,
his indiscriminate and incoherent voice was
heard as well as some shooting from the rifle he
carried.
One of the remaining three asked;
“Where is the manager? We want your safe
opened or we will kill all of you right now”
One of the staff trembling managed to respond
to this question as he said;
“He should be in his office right now”
“Good, Wednesday and Tuesday, go with him,get
the manager and bring us the money and let’s
get out of here. Monday should be able to get
the money from the bulk room too”
From the bulk room, they heard the voice of the
man who went in earlier;
“Start filling those bags with cash right now or I
will kill you right there” his voice boomedwith
anger and seriousness.
About a minute later, the men came back with
the staff who said the manager was in his office
and said;
“It seems the manager had gone out through the
side entrance and went over the fence. We
would not be able to open the safe now, we
must get the cash we can get here and leave”
“ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !” he screamed and
said;
“Get some bags and start getting everything you
can get your hands on fast, we are running out
of time”
At the other side of the road, the men who got
out of the Hiace laid down too but they carried a
bag which no one around them noticed. Everyone
thought that the bank’s security all stayed inside
the compound but some stay outside and when
they saw that the two men with the gun had
relaxed and the intervals between the gunshots
had increased, 4 policemen came out of a shed
and started towards the entrance of the park.
The two men got up, pulled the same rifles the
men inside the bank had and shot down all 4
policemen immediately as one of them
screamed;
“Are you boys not done yet? We have to move
real quickly”
They got up as the driver pulled the bus out of
the park and parked it along the expressway and
opened all door to the bus including the one at
the back. Some minutes later, all 5 men walked
out of the bank’s compound and then the driver
to the Serena joined them. They were all
carrying bags which they had some difficulty
carrying but managed to carry them all to the
Hiace and loaded it inside. As they were putting
the bags in the car, one of the two men who
stood at the park went to the middle of the road
and started shooting just in the same way the
other men were shooting earlier while another
climbed the pedestrian bridge and looked ahead.
All of a sudden, from the distance, a low sound
was heard and the sound increase with each
second. It did not take anyone an inch of
intelligence to realize that the noise was that of
sirens used by the police and from the sound of
it, it was not just one, they were much coming in
the direction of the bank. The man on the bridge
looked towards that direction and could count
more than 5 police Hilux coming their way but
their path was blocked by cars which were
parked by the owners in a bid to get away from
the area quickly.
“We have to move quickly” he shouted as he saw
that the policemen were getting off the trucks
and were running towards them on feet. At the
same time, he opened fire in that direction and
the man on the ground too did the same thing.
There was a return of fire by the advancing
policemen and he was struck in the shoulder. He
tried to the get off the bridge quickly as the
others had gotten into the Hiace with the money
and the driver was waiting impatiently for him.
He got to the stair of the bridge and another
bullet hit him in the back and he fell down rolling
along the path of the stairs until he got to the
bottom.
“We have to go” The driver screamed as the
other one who previously stood in the middle of
the road saw the policemen closing in and he ran
towards the bus and was almost there when a
bulled broke the back glass of the buss. Another
buried itself in his left thigh making him immobile
as the bus started and zoomed off leaving him
lying on the floor at the mercy of the advancing
police officers.
The advancing policemen kept firing at the bus
which by the time they got closer to make any
impact had put some distance between the
crime scene and themselves. They drove off
towards Ikorodu and kept driving fast with the
intention of getting away and getting away fast.
Inside the bus, the men kept quiet in anticipation
of the bullets razing the back glass. When they
had put some distance between them and the
police, there were screams of joy as they were
glad that they had escaped the crime and they
did so with their loot in place and not a lot of
causalities. It was not everyday anyone decides
to rob a bank and especially not in Lagos but
they had done it and at the moment, gotten
away with it.
The first of the police personnel that arrived at
the scene first went to secure the two members
of the gang who had been shot and they
discovered that the one that fell from the bridge
had died but the second man was on the ground
bleeding and in pains. He was surrounded and
received a couple of hits and kicks from the men
who first got there as they attempted to get him
on his feet and he got more beatings. Some
other agents went over to the bank to assess
the bank itself as the customers and staff began
to come out cautiously. They had fear written all
over them as they were told to stop by the
policemen approaching the bank.
The police told them they wanted to do a
damage assessment of the bank and also
interview all the people inside the bank itself.
An ambulance was called as the market became
lively too with some people running away
towards there house and the others running away
in the opposite direction for fear that the
incident was not over yet but some of the
traders still had the mind to opentheir stalls and
shops in the hopes of continuing the business of
the day. To those ones, the robbery had nothing
to do with them and it should not stop them from
doingwhat they set out to do from the start.
The traffic was getting light again as the drivers
who ran off leaving their cars on the road return
and started moving them with the traffic officials
doing their best to make sure the road became
clear.
A couple of bystanders were blaming the
success of the robbery on the late arrival of the
police and some even said the police knew about
the whole operation
Almost as he was saying that, about two
policemen ran out of the backdoor and were
shot down without a moment’s hesitation while
the two men outside continued shoot
sporadically.
Three of the men ran through the back door and
followed it down until they reached the door
