Police said Shuaibu carried out all the robberies during his lunch hour.
The suspect, a 1985 International Relations graduate of Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU), Zaria, was apprehended on Monday and slammed with a
two-count charge of robbery and attempted robbery for the crimes
committed during his two-month spree.
All four banks are within walking distance of the UN Headquarters on
First Avenue near E. 42nd Street, New York, where Shuaibu works as a
journalist for an African news agency.
The suspect was arrested after a
retired police officer working at the facility recognised him from a
surveillance image previously released by the New York Police Department
(NYPD).
On February 27, Shuaibu allegedly walked into a Santander Bank
on Madison Avenue near E. 43rd Street and told the teller he had a gun.https://newtelegraphonline.com/metro/nigerian-held-robbing-four-american-banks/
