AN Operations Manager with a first generation bank in Agbor, Delta State has
been arrested by the police for allegedly conniving with an armed robbery gang
that raided the bank, weekend.
The gang had in a commando style operation, succeeded in carting away
millions of naira in both local and foreign currencies on Friday, while some
bank customers and passers-by were wounded in the process.
Delta State Police command’s spokesman, Mr. Lucky Uyabeme, said that “the
arrested Operations Manager of the bank is helping the police in its
investigation. The command will not leave any stone unturned in ensuring that
all the hoodlums involved are brought to book.
“Preliminary investigation revealed an insider connection in the bank robbery
as the two keys to the strong room that were supposed to be kept by two
different senior staff were left with the Operations Manager, who in turn left
the strong room open.
“The four bullet proof doors were not tampered with. One of the senior staff
of the bank who was supposed to be with one of the keys to the strong room
purported to be sick, handed over the keys to the Operations Manager,” Uyabeme
said.
