RedCard1:
It was about 10:09 that I decided to go to Diamond Bank Nkpolu/Mile 3 branch along Ikwerre Road in Port Harcourt for the processing of my Bank Verification Number, BVN. The bank isn't far from RSUST round about. I left for the Bank with my good neighbour who I convinced to opening an account with the bank for his wife, so his wife came along with us.
We got there at about 10:40. The BVN took less than 20minutes so, by 11:00 we would have been on our way home but for the que on the exit door. So we waited for 5minutes, it was 11:05 now.
My neighbour's wife was out already and my neighbour was in the exit door (abi na room) set to go while I was still standing. All of a sudden, we heard gun shots but it didn't shake us until it kept sounding. Over 200 people (staff included) inside the bank started shivering. People started recieving calls from outside that armed robbers were around. I got close to the window, opened the curtain a bit just to get a glance at what was happening outside of the bank but I couldn't see anything beyond the bank premises. I only saw customers hiding behind themselves outside the bank. The gun kept making the scary noise. At this point, my heart started boiling, I began to think of my mother, siblings, friends and other beloved ones. My neighbour was stuck in the exit door as the door power was switched off cos the order was no going out or coming in. We ran into different rooms. Some women started crying. An old man (supposedly in his 70s) started rolling on the floor. The bank staff started calling police men but police didn't come despite the fact that a police station was just at UST junction not far from the bank. 14minutes later, there was great silence in the area. That was when a staff got a call and was told that the robbers had gone but they didn't still allow movement in the bank. People started coming out of several rooms in great numbers. We started complaining that we wanted to go. After sometime, a staff (don't know if it was the manager) started ordering everybody to stop filling forms and withdrawal/deposit slips. He said the bank had stopped operation for the day. Now the door was open, we rushed out and saw police men checking on a green colour 4runner jeep parked directly opposite the bank. That was when we discovered that robbers had attacked a man and took over 1million Naira from him. The robbers didn't come for the bank. I'm glad I'm resting at home now. As I no die today eh, I no fit die again.

Did any body die?

What if the robbers had come for the bank.. What would have happened to Ur friend trapped at the exit door when usin explosives and guns to break down the door.. He should be the one to go for testimony..shocked shocked..

My thoughts exactly. If I was in that situation (trapped in that exit door) I would have died from fear embarassed

Your robbery experiences, you mean you rob a bank?
Re: My Robbery Experience At Diamond Bank Today by Holluwatarhyor(m): 10:39am On Oct 22, 2015
The bank managements made a very wrong move by switching off the security door light knowing there is someone inside,your neighbour would have been sprayed to death if those robbers had the intentions of robbing the bank

Menh, your neighbour had the most night marish experience. Being stucked inside a powered down exit door, he would have given his life over and over to God. May God continue to protect us all.

Mr security expert!

The Op didn't say the guy withdrew the 1m from the diamond bank he went to do his bvn.

The man might just be enroute from another bank ; house or some other place.

I thk God 4 ur neighbour who got stuck in the exit door. because had d robbers aimed 4 d bank, he surely would have bn blown to pieces by d dynamites they often use to break into banks.

He's indeed d luckiest of them all, he shld go 4 thanksgiving.
Re: My Robbery Experience At Diamond Bank Today by Originalsly: 11:00am On Oct 22, 2015
OP...I don't get you....after hearing gunshots outside the bank and learning is armed robbers. ..why on earth would you go close to a window?...and pull curtain? ...are the windows bullet proof?...after hearing what's going on ...must you see? Reminds me of Lot's wife.@topic... the robbers had to get information from somewhere.... the bank teller...someone in the line... business associate or friend/family. At the end of the day
..I'm sure the bank was robbed in the confusion.....either by customers rushing to all areas....or by the tellers ...or even managers...who would blame customers.

D robberies taking place in Diamond bank is becoming alarming. Just a couple of days ago not up 2 two weeks ago heavily armed robbers went to Diamond bank near Ordinance junction at Trans Amadi. It was terrible, 4 diamond bank security guards were shot, robbers made away with a large amt of money from d bullion van but d police, army n other services pple engaged dem in a fierce gun battle near stadium road junction so d robbers had to abandon d money n run 4 their lives, but it was a traumatic experience for pple in d area.
May God help n protect us as we all go in2 banks 2 do our monetary transactions.

This is what we have bin saying, op, you see your life , last minute rush, at this time you are still filling BVN form. This would have caused you.alot .thank Gode.!
Re: My Robbery Experience At Diamond Bank Today by Bandeco(m): 11:22am On Oct 22, 2015
Misleading title. No correlation between the title and the story..

No need to say God save ur life cos u weren't at any danger of being killed since u were inside the bank and the robbers didn't enter the bank..

Anyway, bank/robbery is again becoming pervasive nowadays.. Going to a bank here in Lagos scares the shirt outta me.. Coming out too from the bank is even worse..
God help us all undecided
Re: My Robbery Experience At Diamond Bank Today by Nobody: 11:30am On Oct 22, 2015
Thank God for your life and those of others...
But please whenever you hear the sound of gunshots, go down low.
Don't go to the window looking for the bullets.

The state of robbery in port Harcourt has increase exponentially, just last week the diamond bank at trans amadi close to me was robbed about 4pm, millions was taken but the robbers abandoned part of the money according to what I read in the papers. Just 2 Saturday ago. I was around elelenwo, waiting to buy fuel when gun shorts everywhere , people running cars drove into bushes , suvs ran into another, the robbery was for 3 min. After 4 min we came out to the road to find out the company that moves cash was just attacked, the bullet holes on the patrol vans, dead body of about 3 of the security personnel , the cashier too, heaven know if she survived the gun shot, on my away from the scene about 2min drive I saw police check point and I was like, did this robbers fly pass this guys. Mehn to go out it's scary in this town.
