Fidelity Bank Staff Killed By Robbers

Douglas Ude had a visitor last Sunday and was driving with his wife to pick the person at Jibowu in Lagos. Along the way, armed robbers accosted them and rather than throw them out of the car, chose to drive with them (Douglas and wife) for an operation that night.

Somewhere during the operation, the robbers encountered the police and a gun fight ensued.

Douglas was felled by police bullets as they were trying to repel the robbers. A surgery in Nigeria could not do it and Fidelity Bank, where he worked as Head of Retail Products hired an air ambulance to fly him abroad for proper treatment.

Douglas gave up the ghost as he was being wheeled into the ambulance on the tarmac of the Lagos airport.
