A cleaner attached to the First City Monument Bank(FCMB), Creek Road, Apapa, Lagos State, has revealed how he planned to rob the bank where he works.
According to the suspect, Mr. Saturday
Akpan, a cleaner with FCMB branch, Creek Road, the plan would have sailed through,
but for the stubbornness one of the security guards attached to the bank. The
guard had refused to join in the robbery.
Apparently sure that they would not be
able to get the guard to work with them, they had threatened to kill him.
The scared guard had agreed to the
plan. But immediately he was allowed to go, he dashed to the nearest police
station. Soon, Akpan and his cronies had become guests at the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos State Police Command.
The suspect explained that he started nursing the ambition
to rob the bank after he heard it had earmarked N24m for its end of year party.
He noted that one Mohammed, a security guard to the bank, told him about the
money and party.
“We had been planning to rob the bank
for a month now,” said Akpan. “I however know that only one security guard
would be a threat to our plan.”
Unsure of how to handle the guard,
Akpan said that he took his snapshot and tailed him to his girlfriend’s home at
Ajegunle. There they accosted him and threatened to him if he refused to play
ball.
Akpan said: “I worked in the bank till the end
of December Last year. I was paid N15, 000 monthly as a cleaner. I only worked
with the bank for four months. I told him that we were planning to rob the bank
and that if he doesn’t co-operate when we attack, we would trace and kill him. He
promised to co-operate with us. Police later came to our house arrest us. We heard
that the security guard went to the police.”
