The robber was shot dead during a fierce gun battle with the police at the bank’s premises.
The district police commander for Somanya, ASP Isaac Otsin told Joy News in an interview that they received a distress call around 2:55am and moved to the bank.
“On seeing us they opened fire and the police also returned fire, in the process one of them was shot.”
The other four robbers managed to escape with gun shot wounds, he added.
A security man who was supposed to be at post at the time of the incident has been arrested. He was absent at the time of the robbery.
