An armed gang on Monday robbed a bank
customer of about N4.3m as he was about depositing the money in Access
Bank branch in Kubwa, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory.
The gunmen, who shot sporadically into
the air, reportedly blocked the customer’s car as he was about entering
the bank and dispossessed him of the bag containing the money.
An eyewitness, Jubril Mohammed, identified the victim as a worker with Total Filling Station, Kubwa.
He said, “I think the victim must have
been trailed by the armed robbers because the way they ambushed him as
he was about entering the bank showed that they had prior information
about him.
“I was standing right along the road
when I saw a car stop in front of the bank; four men came out with guns
and they started shooting. One of them opened the trunk of the car and
removed a bag filled with money.”
