The National Association of Nigerian Students on Friday told Kwara State government to prioritise security, considering the frequent armed robbery attacks in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued in Enugu by NANS National Public Relations Officer, Bestman Okereafor.
He commiserated with the government and people of Kwara and the Nigeria Police over lives lost in a bank robbery in Offa town.
Okereafor said Thursday banks’ robbery and killings in Kwara called for more security measures.
He said,
“We implore the bereaved to take heart and pray God to grant you the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, and grant the injured quick recovery.
“NANS is however calling on Nigerian banks to put in place special security measures rather than only counting on police protection.
“It is obvious that most Nigerian banks only count on police who are no doubt trying their best to engage the highly sophisticated and technology-driven robbers, who robbed five banks within one hour undisturbed.”
Recall that a gang of armed robbers, on Thursday, raided five commercial banks in Offa town, killing some policemen and residents as well.
The armed robbers carted away an undisclosed amount of cash after the operation.
