THREE persons suspected to be armed robbers Thursday snatched N2 million from a staff of the Anambra State Ministry of Lands as he was about to enter the ministry’s gate.

It was not clear what the money was meant for, but Vanguard gathered that the suspected robbers trailed the staff from the bank where he collected the money until he was about to enter the ministry’s gate, when the three people on a motorcycle brought out guns and forced him to hand over the bag. They collected the cellophane bag which contained the money and fled.

Even those loitering around the ever- busy ministry did not know what happened until the staff raised an alarm after the people had sped off on their motorcycle.

This is an incredible story! Why would anyone, including a government ministry, be physically dealing with such a large cash in this digital age? Anyway, I smell an inside job in this robbery case...

Another reason to embrace cashless transaction by Nigerians

2M large cash?

You probably haven't worked with any government.

Well, N2 million is still a large cash no matter what. Adequate security measures should have been put in place to prevent the robbery.
