A four-man robbery gang operated yesterday morning\u00a0 at Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area , Delta State,\u00a0\u00a0 shooting and killing one person\u00a0 and injuring three others at a neighborhood Bureau De Exchange on Hausa Quarters, Market Road. They carted away an undisclosed amount of money in a less than three- minute operation.<\/p>\n

There was pandemonium in the area over the incident, as people ran helter skelter for their\u00a0 lives , while the bandits fired indiscriminately into the air to make good their escape in a Jetta car with which they trailed a victim to the local money market.<\/p>\n

Two of those who received gunshot injuries were identifed as Alhaji Abu and Alhaji Ibrahim, both foreign exchange dealers and an Igbo man who was shot on the chest. As at the time of this report, they had been taken by the police to the General Hospital, Sapele for medical attention.<\/p>\n

A source said the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Sapele, Emmanuel Iguodala not only deployed his men to the scene when a call was put to him, but led a separate team to confront the gangsters but they had escaped before the team arrived.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that a policeman who was on duty at the Bureau De Exchange engaged the robbers in a shootout, but he was apparently overpowered.<\/p>\n

The gangsters, according to our informant, followed the owner of the money, who came to transact business at the money market from a nearby community, probably Jesse, and ambushed him as soon as he got to the place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
