PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident started at about 2.30pm at the Alaba cash center of Fidelity Bank.

A source said, “Some persons were
injured and had been taken to the hospital, four persons died, including
two policemen,” she said.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident, but said one policeman was killed.
She said, “This afternoon, a Fidelity
Bank Cash Center was robbed. Huge deposits were made to the tune of N24m
at the cash center and when officials from the bank’s head office came
to collect the money, they were waylaid. A policeman was killed in the
process.
“We suspect an insider’s collaboration.
Also, administratively there are questions to be answered because a cash
center is not supposed to receive such amount of deposit. So far, we
have made seven arrests.”
