A United Nations employee was busted for robbing four Manhattan banks, all during his lunch hour, authorities said.

Abdullahi Shuaibu, 53, was picked up by cops on Monday and hit with two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery for the crimes committed during his two-month spree, the New York Post reports.

All four banks are within walking distance of UN headquarters on First Ave. near E. 42nd St., where the Nigeria native works as a journalist for an African news agency, police said.

Authorities were led to the thief after a retired police officer who works at the facility recognized Shuaibu from a surveillance image previously released by the NYPD.

In the first incident, Shuaibu walked into a Santander Bank on Madison Ave. near E. 43rd St. on Feb. 27 and told the teller he had a gun. The bank employee complied and handed Shuaibu an unknown sum of money.

He hit two more banks during the month of March, first striking out at a Bank of America on Third Ave. near E. 47th St. on the 13th. He was successful in robbing a Santander Bank on Third Ave. and E. 63rd St. on the 27th.

During the most recent incident on Monday, Shuaibu walked into an HSBC on Third Ave. and E. 40th St. around 2:30 p.m. and passed a note demanding cash to the teller. The teller did not read the note and asked Shuaibu for identification.

He then instructed the employee to read the note, keeping his hand in his jacket pocket while simulating a gun, police said.

Police arrested him later in the day when he returned to the UN.

Stranger than fiction.

Sure, every employee needs a side-hustle but not this...

United Nations Employee hmmm

Hope it's not a case of mistakenly identity

A picture would have been nice

Greedy man.

NCAN here we go

ok

Dude made a mistake. After the third heist he should have retired to Nigeria and belong to a political party, calming Hausa and he will be protested for by his suffering minions and not against. Claim IBO and he will be shield by this tribe and adored with plenty chieftaincy title. Claim Yoruba and many streets will be named after him, and with the title "jagaban" adored on him. In summary, majority of the youths will pray for their calls to be answered just like him.
