Robbers kill police escort returning from bank
Oruaman had provided security backup for some staff members of a sanitary pad company located at Sanya Bus Stop, along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.
It was gathered that Oruaman had escorted the workers in a Kia Rio car to a bank in Apapa to withdraw money which ran into millions of naira.
They wanted to enter the company’s premises when two bandits on a motorcycle ambushed them and started shooting.
Armed Oruaman was said to have responded to the shooting to foil the robbery. The robbers eventually abandoned the motorcycle at the scene and took to their heels, but the cop sustained gunshot wounds.
Oruaman was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, where he died.
A source said, “The incident happened on Thursday, August 30. Inspector Oruaman was on station guard that day at the Aguda Police Station where he worked. Around 11am, he escorted the company to a bank in Apapa to withdraw money.
