CCTV footage has captured the moment suspected armed robbers attacked Point-of-Sale (POS) operators at Aroma Junction in Awka, Anambra State, and made away with large sums of cash.
The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday, October 4, 2026, when the suspects arrived at the busy junction in a commercial tricycle and moved from one POS kiosk to another.
Armed with guns, the assailants allegedly threatened the operators and forced them to surrender their cash before escaping from the scene in the same tricycle. Footage of the incident shows residents and passersby fleeing as the robbery unfolded.
Eyewitnesses reportedly said the incident was the third robbery targeting POS businesses in the immediate area, raising concerns among traders and residents over the security situation.
The latest incident comes amid previous warnings and security operations by the Anambra State Police Command over robbery and other criminal activities targeting POS operators and other members of the public in the state.
The CCTV footage has since circulated online, prompting calls from residents and business owners for increased security presence around major commercial areas and junctions in Awka.
