The fulfillment of the assurance given by police authorities to arrest the perpetra­tors of the robbery incident that cut short the lives of three policemen and three others in Lekki area of Lagos last Thursday, though may serve as a form of succour to many Nigerians, the bereaved families, particularly that of Inspector Bethel, indigene of Kwale in Delta State and father of seven, will certain­ly need more to survive the tragedy that hit them.

Two other policemen identified as Sergeant George, an Urhobo also from Delta State and Corporal Ikechukwu, a Benin man from Edo State.

Six persons including three mo­bile policemen were killed and sev­eral others seriously injured during the incident which happened on Lekki-Ikoyi Link bridge when the rampaging armed robbers attacked a new generation bank.

Security sources told Sunday Sun that the three policemen were on the escort of some expatriates from Victoria Island to the international airport in Ikeja when they ran into the bandits who had stormed the bank for robbery operation.

Sunday Sun reliably gathered that the escort team decided to fol­low the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge because of the usual heavy traffic on Ozumba Mbadiwe way with the lead driver who carried the for­eigners on a Coaster bus leading the way.
