Armed
robbers on Wednesday invaded the International Wing of the Murtala Mohammed
Airport Lagos, killing two policemen and made away with a huge amount of
foreign currencies from some bureau-de-change operators at nation’s premier gateway,
officials said.
The dare
devil robbers, who arrived the airport some few minutes to nine, headed for the
BDC operators center near the car park and started shooting sporadically,
eyewitnesses at the scene said.
The

to 30 minutes by policemen attached to the international airport.
The
