After trailing their victim to one of the commercial banks in Akure metropolis at about 2pm and concluding a well orchestrated robbery, facts have
emerged that robbers snatched Ghana-must-go
bags containing vouchers in Akure, the Ondo State
capital, mistaking it for cash.
Bank sources had informed Vanguard after the
incident which caused robbery scare, making
banks in the state capital to hurriedly close shop,
that the robbers had snatched the bags
supposedly containing huge sums of money from a
customer who had gone to withdraw cash from the
bank.
Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, Wole
Ogodo, who confirmed the incident said the
affected bank had informed the police that what
was snatched were processed bank vouchers, and
not cash.
“On November 6, 2013 at about 1800hrs, Oke
Oludare, the Operational Manager of the Ecobank,
reported at the station formally that some
hoodlums numbering about three trailed their
vehicle and double crossed it at the front of the
bank.
“They forcefully removed three Ghana-must- go
bags containing processed vouchers thinking it
was money and zoomed off through NEPA
roundabout.”
Assuring that the robbers would soon be arrested
and brought to justice, Ogodo said they would
have since discovered that their efforts had come
to nothing since only papers were contained in the
bags.

Bad Market!
