Abiodun Nejo,



Ekiti State Commissioner of Police , Mr Asuquo Amba , said on Friday that the Inspector General of Police , Mohammed Adamu , had ordered a thorough investigation into Thursday ’s armed robbery attack on the Oye Ekiti branch of a new generation bank and the Oye Police Division.

Amba , who said there was a close similarity between the armed robbers ’ attack and the one on a bank at Ise Ekiti about two months ago , said , “ The IGP has directed that there must be a very thorough investigation and that this mode of operation must be brought to fore .”

The robbers, who attacked the police station to dislodge the security agents ahead of the bank robbery where they blasted the security door with dynamite and carted away over N 25 million and some foreign currencies also killed two persons – a policeman and a seven - year -old girl.

The police commissioner bemoaned the killing of the police sergeant who was on duty at the bank and the girl, whose mother was a hawker in the bank area by the robbers in the attack.

The police boss , who spoke at Oye Ekiti during an on - the-spot assessment of the bank and divisional station, said video footage from the closed- circuit television in the bank suggested that the robbery was carried out in connivance with insiders.

He said, “ What baffles me is that there was nexus between the robbers and insiders in the banking premises. The Oye Police Division is about one or two poles from here. It was the first point of attack . The bankers confirmed that they heard the shots and it took about 10 minutes before the robbers arrived at the bank from there.

“ Within the period , there were some activities that went on inside the bank . It is either there was strict connivance , or that the bank officials took advantage to carry out their own intention which an investigation would prove .

“ Between the time the robbers attacked our men and the time the robbery took place , the staff had enough time to escape through the exit door.

They were captured by CCTV moving in and out of the vault. The vault was even opened before the robbers came.

“Despite the opportunity , none of them made efforts to escape, they were stuffing money and there is evidence to prove this.

“ The staff opened the vault by 3:05p.m . and the robbers blew up the security door at 3:12 pm. , this gave a strong suspicion that there was internal collaboration in this matter.

“ What we have seen is that there is a missing chain in the link. It is that missing chain that we are working out . And I can assure you that we will mend the missing chain to get the result of our investigation , ” he said .

Amba alleged that the CCTV also revealed how the bankers and a customer , who ran inside upon hearing the gunshots, had used the robbery opportunity to stuff money into their pockets as they moved frequently into the vault before the bandits blew the security door with dynamite.

He said the robbers had during the attack on the police division used about seven or eight improvised explosive devices.

“ The Divisional Police Officer was quite lucky because I went to his office, his seat was pierced . There was consistent firing. They went to almost all the offices and they attempted to get to the armoury , they were not able to breakthrough .”

I am promising the Nigeria police force to assist them in solving this robbery case... Through prayers...

supercase1:

Prayer warrior

my brother life is too short for bullshiiiii.. If they ask me that what's the evidence of my prayers, I will say faith is the thing unseen yet hoped for... They should have faith

By what you said, there is a causal Link, between the said staff and the robbers and robbery

so instead of closing the vault door, these employees were busy stealing bank money and left the bank vault open?!?!?!? kai!

when they catch the armed robbers and their bank accomplices ....ONE bullet to the back of the head, to each one of them. no questions asked!

Two robbery took place that same day. The first was by the bank officials armed with suits and pen while the second was by the masked robbers armed with guns and dynamite.

Gone are those days pple had integrity.....now men on suit are more criminal minded than an armed robber.......what a pity

Nigeria my kwontry

Am I the only one disappointed? Where is the video?

mumu banker, you have unristricted access to the Finacle banking platform and you are tourching cash

Me i will just pay in 15 million into my friends as soon as i can after the robbers go, and claim the teller and the money was carted away, better yet i will pay it to the of an online bitcoin trader and the trader for the cryptocurrency to be transfered to my wallet, Dubai Cable Visa take 48hrs to max a week


..

So the robbers went to the police station first? So do you mean they chased police away?

ok

Just imagine how village People finally succeeded in punishing the bank staff.

They will cough out both the money they took and the one stolen by the robbers.


This thread is hilarious

Na wa o





Times are hard





But stealing is harder

The hardship in the land has turned an average Nigerian to a potential thief. The only thing is that some do not have opportunity to steal and the moment they find one like this, they go all out. Even the police reporting this are bigger thieves.

Seriously anytime i see bankers i see robbers in suit

Bank staffs are worst than armed robbers itself. Those bankers including their ogas that are so wealthy, did you think is their money?, is people's money, both the living and the dead. And they will be saying Police, NEPA are the most corrupt in Nigeria, well, for me bankers are the most criminals and most corrupt institutions in the world. Nonsense and Central Bank.

So many news dis days u wonder if sanity still exists in this country....

k

Can't we see that this unitary system isn't working?

We have to wait for directives from some clueless Inspector General in Abuja before investigation can commence in earnest.

What a load of garbage

Lmao! Only a very strong Christian wouldn't at that particular time. Too bad only one person was caught, now he will be the scape goat

Check out the excuses of the police. " nearest police station was attacked before the robbery"? Seriously! What about those one on the road collecting #20 from drivers, SARS, all those one in brothels. They couldn't be communicated to go do the one job they were primarily employed for. jokes

Police commissioner did not know how bank works,sometimes opening d vault ahead is to safe their own life.if u have worked in bank and experienced robbery,u will understand and there is no way any staff could av escape because some of d armed robber maybe around to shoot anyone that tried to escape

Greedy bankers. When they are caught they'll blame the Devil!

They killed a Police man, trust me the Police will get of this matter. Nigeria Police seems to also connive and know the criminals, they only get the culprits quickly if a Policeman is killed in the process. They must take their revenge, the prayer is for innocent people not to be affected.
When robbers terrorised my former neighbourhood the Police did nothing until an Inspector returning from work was killed by robbers, within days several guys involved in crime where shot dead and many fled. For sometime thereafter there was no robbery incident

NAWAO
TRY AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CCTV IN YOUR HOUSE.CHECK MY SIGNATURE

why is this man saying what we all know. bank robbery will always involve insiders. who will risk life to strike bank when vault is empty?
instead of all this grandstanding start by reviewing phone records of all bank staff from gm to cleaner.
