The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, confirmed
the incident, but said one policeman was killed.
She said, “This afternoon, a Fidelity Bank Cash Center was robbed. Huge
deposits were made to the tune of N24m at the cash center and when officials
from the bank’s head office came to collect the money, they were waylaid. A
policeman was killed in the process.

questions to be answered because a cash center is not supposed to receive such
amount of deposit. So far, we have made seven arrests
