Hell was let lose on Saturday in  Ifo community in Ifo local government area of Ogun State when  armed robbers, numbering about  20, invaded the area and  killed  six people including five operatives  of the Ogun  State Vigilante Service.

The  robbers were  members  of  a  gang that  specialized  in robbing banks and  allied institutions.

The robbers, who allegedly  operated in an unmarked  lorry, entered a filling station  and  shot the five  men of the Vigilante Service guarding  the place.
