Edward Nnachi, AbakalikiThe two drivers of the bullion van conveying money from Enugu State to Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, last week, which was attacked by four armed robbers, on Thursday narrated how they escaped from the robbers with the van. The bandits were stationed at the point where a flyover is currently being erected by the Ebonyi state government. I did exactly as he suggested and maneuvered the bullion van through the bodies on the road. “One of them shot at the van at close range but the bulletproof windscreen didn’t give in. I didn’t allow any vehicle to overtake me until I got to Abakaliki, where met three police checkpoints and I alerted them.”They explained that the robbers focused more on the police escorts, than the bullion van.
