Driver dies in foiled
robbery attack
The Delta State Government has denied reports that the Government
House Annex, Warri was attacked by armed men on Thursday.
A statement by the Chief
Press Secretary to Governor ifeanyi Okowa, Mr. Charlws Ehiedu Aniagwu said the incident was not
an attack on Government House Annex Warri, but a robbery incident that occurred
when a driver attached to the Delta Waterways Security Committee Chairman,
Chief Boro Opudu was trailed by armed robbers while returning from the bank.
The statement reads: “The driver gallantly made his way to
the Delta Government House Annex in Warri but sustained serious gunshot wounds
on his way back to the Annex and subsequently died while he was being rushed to
the hospital.
“The robbers could not make away with the money he was
carrying because the security operatives were able to repel the rampaging
robbers before they got to the Annex, Warri.
“While we regret the loss of the driver, two of the three
robbers were arrested by the military while one was arrested by the police.”
