Two expatriate pilots, working for an oil service firm, Bristol Helicopters, were seriously injured last week after an armed robbery gang opened fire on their vehicle in Lagos.
According to a police source, Captain Allistair Kennedy, a Briton, and Captain Lion, a Malaysian, were on their way to Bristol Helicopters, Local Airport Ikeja, when the robbers struck.
The seven-man robbery gang reportedly attacked them at 7/8 Bus Stop, on the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Road, at about 6.30 A.M.
The two in the company of three other staff of the company were in a Mercedes Benz with Reg. No. BT 724 KTU.
After riddling the vehicle with bullets the robbers were said to have swooped on them and dispossessed them of an unspecified amount of money.
The victims were reported to have been rushed to Kupa Medical Hospital, Ajao Estate, from where they were later transferred to the Shell Medical Clinic, Marina, Lagos, because of their precarious condition.
Best wishes to both for a speedy recovery.
