A former banker, Emmanuel Onuma, is currently in Police custody after he was caught breaking into the Automated Teller Machine gallery of the bank he once worked with to steal N14million.

The 34-year-old was said to have carried out the heist at the Garki, Abuja branch of the new generation bank on October 19, 2018.

Parading Onuma alongside other suspects in Abuja on Wednesday, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Operations, Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Valentine Olumese, said the ex-banker was dismissed in August for fraudulent activities.

“On November 1, in furtherance of an ongoing investigation, police operatives attached to the Garki Division arrested one Emmanuel Onuma, who broke into the ATM lobby of a bank located in Garki on October 19 at about midnight and stole the sum of N14m,” Olumese stated.

He explained that the suspect confessed that he converted the money to $33,000 in Abuja and Kaduna for ease of movement.

“Upon his arrest, the following amounts of money were recovered from him as exhibits: cash sum of $28,000; N1,650,120 and nine pieces of Ghana cedis. Other exhibits recovered from him include one new SIM card and flight tickets,” the commissioner added.

Onuma, in an interview with journalists, admitted to the crime, stating that he carried out the act because the bank failed to pay his benefits after sacking him.

“I worked with the bank for 11 years and I was not settled; no benefits, no settlement; but there is no justification for doing something wrong,” he stated and declined making further statements.

Sincerely I think robots should be employed as tellers. Way back as a banker when I go dey count money wey my generation no fit see everyday I always end up weak and depressed. Na when one small pikin count one kain big money I know say I dey die small small. The sight of the money wan kill me. Voice for my head dey tell me"transfer transfer,do only small he no go know"
The next day I transfer....I transfer myself comot from that area by submitting my resignation,make I no go tiff commit fraud come transfer myself go kirikiri.

The man looks like a certified crook already,i wonder how he got employed in the first place.
Dear Naija banks stop employing people that look extremely hungry,theivery and fraud is their hubby.
That is my honest advice with no sound.

Mumu, you stole that big since Oct 19th and remained in the country for 2 weeks.
Not in support Tho

if he wasn't caught that's what he would be telling himself to feel less remorse...the lies we tell ourselves

"Banker takes his gratuity from ATM"
