According to Sunnewsonline, the robbers, numbering more than 15 including two women, held the town hostage for about four hours, shooting sporadically to discourage a possible counter attack.

the town at about 1.00pm on Wednesday from Vandikyia Road leading to
Benue State in a Sienna space wagon bus and one Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
An eyewitness informed that on arrival, the two
women in the gang took over the two major roads of Vandykia and

It was gathered that the robbers, after their nefarious act, went away from the bank with millions of Naira.
As at the time of compiling this report, attempts to reach the police authorities in the state to confirm the incident were unsuccessful.
