Armed men
Armed robbers attacked a bullion van along the Akure/Owo Highway in Ondo State on Wednesday, shooting a policeman in the process.
Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, DSP Funmi Odunlami, confirmed via the telephone that the attack occurred close to Emure-Ile junction along the highway.
The robbers were however unable to cart away any funds as the bullion van was not carrying any cash when they struck, Odunlami added.
Meanwhile, a team of policemen has been deployed to the area to apprehend the armed robbers and the injured policeman is being treated at a nearby hospital.
