The Adabraka robbery occurred when a group of armed men stormed the area in broad daylight and attacked a jewellery shop in 2024.

Viral videos from the scene showed at least five heavily built men wielding various firearms and firing shots into the air as they loaded stolen items, including bags believed to contain money, into a silver vehicle.

Witnesses said the robbers ordered a bystander who had raised his hands in surrender to comply with their demands. At one point, the suspects were seen scattering some of the money they had seized while continuing to fire warning shots.

After loading the stolen items, the robbers sped off while firing additional shots into the air.
