No fewer than two policemen lost their lives at the weekend, when a six-man gang of armed robbers  attacked a new generation bank inside the Enugu Campus of the  the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC).
It was gathered that an undisclosed amount running into millions of naira was carted away from the bank’s ATM by the robbers.
A similar incident was said to have occurred at the campus about one month ago, when another new generation bank was attacked inside the institution.
The hoodlums were believed to have taken advantage of the downpour on Friday night to launch the attack.
A lady, who was with a security guard at the bank also sustained bullet wounds.
According to our source, the robbers came in the middle of the night and shot the two policemen without resistance and thereafter, ordered the other guards into the security room where they were tied together.
With the bank’s security taken care of, the robbers, who were suspected to be the same gang that attacked a nearby bank one month ago in the campus, operated without hitch and succeeded in removing the three ATMs.
Our correspondent, who visited the bank yesterday observed that three big holes were dug, from where the three ATMs were removed.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu (DSP), urged residents of the state to remain calm.
He said the police were on top of the situation and that investigations were ongoing.
“We are handling the incident as effort is on to unravel the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident”, Amaraizu stated.
