The four-man gang exchanged gunfire with police operatives during the incident, which occurred at about 12noon penultimate Friday.
While two of the robbers escaped, the other two were shot dead.
Their corpses have been deposited in a morgue. A policeman on the team told Punch that the robbers stationed one of them at the bank’s Automated Teller Machine as an informant.
He said, “They were four and they came on three motorcycles. They targeted people leaving the bank premises, particularly women carrying bags. If they saw a woman with a bag, an informant around the ATM would alert the others and they would trace their victim to a secluded location and rob her. They had automatic pistols and they could fire at will.
“These two were killed during an exchange of fire on Friday. Their motorcycles were unregistered. The metal under their motorcycles had been straightened to enhance their speed and enable them to shoot guns without holding the motorcycles.”
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, confirmed the incident.
