@NL, Two days back, 30th Aug 2010. Two cotonou banks and bureau de change of the cotonou said was also robbed for close to two hours in the morning. About 3-4 lifes were lost and millions of cfa was stolen that it affected the exchange rate. You could imagine how much cfa was stolen that would affect the increase of cfa from 294 naira - 305naira. The robbery was lead by a woman; trust the saying that what a man can do, a woman can do better  the two banks robbered are Bank Of Africa & Diamond Bank, cotonou. A soul was lost in Bank Of Africa. May God continue to cover us with his protection (Amen) |

And funny, some nigerians were involved. Four of them have been caught and presently at the seme police station. It was heard they've been hiding out in a forest in a town called "Owode" Thanks to the Vigilante group in the town and the Nigerian Police who received the Criminals |

Owode is in mt LGA. Is CFA stronger than Naira? |
| Re: Robbery At The Seme - Cotonou Boarder by larryshow4(m): 6:09am On Sep 02, 2010 |
@supereagle, Remember I said the robbery affected CFA rising from 294naira to 305naira. That's to know how much the CFA stolen are worth. You can pocket about 6-7m cfa in your pocket without you knowing anything and that's about 1.830m - 2.135m naira. So holding 10m cfa. You holding abt. 3m plus. Now imagine how many cfa would go in a "Ghana Must Go" Bag. How many they would bring. Cfa is quite expensive at the moment but guess it should go down back soon. |

The Thieves were apprehended by the Local vigilante Group at a village called Kese very close to the Owode-Apa border. In all 6 people were arrested and captured. $ of whom directly participated in the robbery while a lady was also apprehended while driving around to locate them and help them escape, Shoes and clothes were found in her car which she intends to give to the robbers so they can change their clothes to ease their escape. The Vigilante groups deserved commendation. |

The poster passed the information as an eye witness and some people are here questing him. Nairalanders na waa for una. |
| Re: Robbery At The Seme - Cotonou Boarder by VALIDATOR: 10:05am On Sep 02, 2010 |
larryshow4: While i am also an advocate of people stating the source of information that they give us here on Nairaland, i observe some people are just bent on being sarcastic. The OP already made it clear that he was an eye witness.What else can be clearer than the red bolded above? Mama gee and MrPrsdent,I think you two should just marry each other ASAP cos you reason the same way  |
| Re: Robbery At The Seme - Cotonou Boarder by Nobody: 10:16am On Sep 02, 2010 |
ud4u: who was questing him? VALIDATOR: There is room for sarcasm and humour on NL |

@Larryshow4, The robbery was lead by a woman; trust the saying that what a man can do, a woman can do better the two banks robbered are Bank Of Africa & Diamond Bank, cotonou. Though Larry is trying to pass a message, but this English Na wao. It is like a mask that de-faced the beauty of the story, If true in the first place. Journalist like this either over-exagerrate or under-estimate. Whichever, only you can confirm since there is no link. |
| Re: Robbery At The Seme - Cotonou Boarder by larryshow4(m): 4:34pm On Sep 03, 2010 |
@olaolufred, Maybe you need a glass to read what is on my signature or you need a narrator to explain the main story to you. I never called myself a journalist. I just passed a tale of what happened. Maybe you should come be my private english tutor since you are out looking for typo errors. Anyway, the error was from my typing on phone. |

Journalist like this either over-exagerrate or under-estimate. Whichever, only you can confirm since there is no link. Posted by: larryshow4 The important thing is the message that was passed accross in the topic and NOT d typo error.Besides, anybody can easily understand the message by reading the poster's( Larryshow4) note. The story is for sure cos nobody toils with a serious issue like this and Larryshow can't for any reason say something he is not aware of. I was on my way to Cotonou that fatefull day and we had to chill out @ d customs office till the incident went off. May Almighty God protect us all ( Amin). |
