Four armed men, yesterday, attacked a bullion van in Asaba, Delta State, killing a popular film actor, Clement Onyeaka.
An eye witness said the actor, who was driving a Mercedes Benz C-class was hit in the head by a flying bullet during the attack.
The Nation gathered that the bullion van conveying cash from the Onitsha branch of a new generation commercial bank to Asaba, was reportedly attacked at about 2:30pm, along the Delta Broadcasting Service (DBS) road.
Delta State Public Relations Officer, DSP Tina Kalu, who confirmed the incident, said no policeman was killed in the attack, adding that rather, the police gunned down a robber who was eventually whisked away by his colleagues.
The Nation also gathered that three policemen who were on escort duty and three members of staff of the bank were seriously wounded.
The Nation learnt that the robbers, who drove in a Toyota Camry car, may have trailed their victims from Onitsha.
The victims were rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba.
However, soldiers who conveyed some of the victims used horse whip on doctors at the scene, for insisting on due process and documentation for the victims.
