It was a chaotic minute on Friday in Asaba, Delta State after armed robbers assaulted a bullion van around Koka intersection across the Asaba-Benin Expressway and carted away a yet to be revealed quantity of money.

According to reports, the heavily armed hoodlums, that arrived in a gray Sienna automobile, were spotted shooting sporadically earlier overpowering the safety employees serving as escort to the bullion van stated to belong to United Bank for Africa, (UBA), and thereafter took ownership of the van and drained its own vault and zoomed off to an unknown destination.

It was gathered that the operation which lasted several minutes, saw people scampering for safety as the sporadic shooting increased to scare away people, though no life was lost.

Reports also have it that shortly after the robbery operation, some policemen believed to have come from the Delta State Police Command drove the bullion van to the A Division Police Station, Asaba where it was parked for further investigation.
