The incident occurred along Shiroro Road near Iya-Femi Restaurant shortly after the victim reportedly withdrew ₦10 million from a bank.
Security sources said the suspects trailed the victim from the bank before intercepting his Toyota Camry along the road. The attackers allegedly fired gunshots into the air and ordered the man to surrender the money.
However, the victim resisted and engaged one of the robbers in a struggle. During the altercation, he managed to seize an AK-47 rifle from the suspect and fired a shot that hit one of the gang members.
The development reportedly caused panic among the robbers, who fled the scene.
Despite the victim’s resistance, the suspects escaped with his Toyota Camry containing the ₦10 million. They also abandoned their own vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, at the scene while fleeing.
Also reports say the victim had just withdrawn money from two banks in Minna: Wema Bank (₦5 million) and TAJBank (₦3 million), before he was trailed and attacked along Shiroro Road.
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer in Niger State, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the incident, stating that officers recovered the abandoned vehicle and the rifle used during the attack.
He added that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Minna for further investigation.
According to the police spokesperson, efforts are ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and recover the stolen money.
Security sources also indicated that the same suspects may be linked to another robbery in Nasarawa State where about ₦50 million was reportedly stolen using the same vehicle.
