I saw the bank robbery at zenith bank owerri branch owerri and thought some steps should be taken by nigerian banks to prevent robbery.

1. Adequate provision of armed well trained security men. How could it it be that only one armed security man was securing a bank in a city like owerri. where were the others at the moment of robbery. The bank should be sued for not providing adequate security personnel in the banking premises, by the person that was robbed and by the family of the killed police man. There should never be any point in time when less than 5 police men should secure a bank

2. The armed security men should be strategically position at every moment. At least one person should be outside the bank gate across the main road on a camouflage. At least 2 should be upstairs well position near the windows and should have access to the CCTV. Then 2 or 3 others should be down, maybe 1 at the gate and the others positioned somewhere else.

3. The security men should be provided with bullet proof wears for their chest region and helmets for their head.

4. The bank entrance gate should be automatically controlled with the possibility to jam lock it when their is a security threat. As you can see from the video, the gate man escaped for his life and left the gate open.

5. The CCTV's should be positioned to capture human faces better


Its high time the CBN makes laws that will provide more security in Nigerian banks
