An eyewitness told a source that the gunmen had blocked Vandeikya-Obudu road, and demobilised a patrol van of the joint security task force, coded Operation Zenda, before heading for the bank, where they allegedly operated unchallenged.
It was gathered that in the operation, which lasted for over an hour, the hoodlums shot one person dead.
Another person, who was reportedly injured, is said to be receiving treatment in a hospital at Vandeikya.
The branch manager of the bank in the area refused to speak with our correspondent on how much was stolen by the robbers.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the state command, Austin Ezeani, however said on Friday that the police killed one of the robbers and also recovered one of the vehicles used for the robbery.
