A gang of armed robbers has allegedly killed a policeman and stole property and cash worth N2million in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The robbers, who were said to have struck on Shara/Tsaragi Road in Ifelodun Local Government at noon, allegedly dispossessed people in commercial and private vehicles of their personal effects.

One of the victims, Nureni Adisa, said the robbers found a police identification card on the deceased.

He said the hoodlums, who operated with locally-made guns and other weapons, on identifying the policeman, shot him dead.

Adisa alleged that the robbers stole N56,000 from him. He said the money was meant for a contract, adding that the robbers also stole his mobile phone after beating him with a stick.

He said they struck at a spot where the vigilante stayed to provide security. 

Police spokesman Olufemi Fabode, who confirmed the incident, said no policeman died.
