Armed robbers attacked a man in front of a bank at Ajibade bus stop on Mokola/Sango road, Ibadan, on Wednesday afternoon as he made his way into the bank.
The victim said the robbers snatched the N1.7m he had on him.
A crowd of sympathisers and onlookers gathered around the victim as he writhed in pain after one of the robbers shot him in both legs.
The victim informed that he had boarded a commercial motorcycle to the place, and that soon after he paid the fare, he was accosted by two men who also came in a motorcycle.
“I thought they were men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad; so, I explained to them that I was not a thief and that I was going to the bank.
“But one of them brought out a gun and when I delayed in handing over the money, he shot me on both legs. So, I gave the money to them,” said the victim.
A team of policemen later arrived at the scene and took the victim to a hospital opposite the bank.
