According to them, the robbers used dynamite to blow off the doors and other security-coded vaults within the bank to cart away undisclosed amounts of money.
  
The robbers killed Afuye, a policeman and a commercial motorcyclist.
  
Afuye recently resigned from one of the state government media stables to join a private university in the town as the Public Relations Officer (PRO).
