According to Channels TV, the Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, DSP Funmi Odunlami, confirmed that the attack occurred close to Emure-Ile junction along the highway.
The robbers were however unable to cart away any funds as the bullion van was not carrying any cash when they struck, Odunlami added.
