The bank was robbed by a gang on Wednesday but some of them were apprehended and burnt to death by an angry mob.

Two of them were arrested.

They had blown the security door open with dynamite fired from an AK 47 gun.

After gaining entry, they went for the strong room and made away with some cash, according to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olugbenga Fadeyi.

When the Commissioner of Police Nwachukwu Enwonwu, visited the scene on Thursday, a crowd of angry residents was said to have gathered requesting release of the detained robbers to them to set them ablaze.

But Enwonwu refused.

Fresh dynamite exploded in the process, injuring a policeman and someone among the angry crowd.
