After trailing their victim to one of the commercial
banks in Akure metropolis at about 2pm and
concluding a well orchestrated robbery, facts have
emerged that robbers snatched Ghana-must-go bags
containing vouchers in Akure, the Ondo State capital,
mistaking it for cash.
Bank sources had informed Vanguard after the
incident which caused robbery scare, making banks in
the state capital to hurriedly close shop, that the
robbers had snatched the bags supposedly containing
huge sums of money from a customer who had gone to
withdraw cash from the bank.
Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, Wole
Ogodo, who confirmed the incident said the affected
bank had informed the police that what was snatched
were processed bank vouchers, and not cash.
“On November 6, 2013 at about 1800hrs, Oke
Oludare, the Operational Manager of the Ecobank,
reported at the station formally that some hoodlums
numbering about three trailed their vehicle and
double crossed it at the front of the bank.
“They forcefully removed three Ghana-must- go bags
containing processed vouchers thinking it was money
and zoomed off through NEPA roundabout.”
Assuring that the robbers would soon be arrested and
brought to justice, Ogodo said they would have since
discovered that their efforts had come to nothing
since only papers were contained in the bags.
