“Yes, I can confirm to you that the driver of the bullion van and a police officer died in the attack, but the police have launched their investigation to trail the gunmen.

“We urge residents who have concrete information to come forward, we do not need them to drop their names but give us useful information that will lead to the arrest of the gunmen,” Odunlami urged.

She, however, said that the corpses of the victims have been deposited at an undisclosed hospital morgue while those that sustained injuries were given necessary treatment.
