There are reports that at least 18 armed robbers laid siege to Isanlu in Yagba East LGA of Kogi State, killing many at the police station opposite the LG headquarters, including the DPO, as well as many civilians at First Bank – the only commercial bank in the town for well over 2 hours today.

Eyewitness report described the operation as a replica of the Offa bank robbery of 2018. According to the witness, the robbers first went to the Police station, marched out the civilians and policemen inside it and killed them one after the other.

Then they roamed the town and proceeded to the bank to rob and kill.
The last few days have been filled with a lot of bad news of violence across Nigeria and the world.
