Female Banker Sends Armed Robbers After Customer

A female cashier working in one of the new generation bank in Onitsha, Anambra state has landing in trouble for sending robbers after a customer just after he withdrew N5 million from the bank.

 It was gathered that the customer was attacked by the armed robbers who operated on two motorcycles, while the victim was waiting to board a vehicle to his destination. After being dispossessed of the money, the victim became suspicious of the role played by the female cashier as no other person knew about the withdrawal; he hurried back to the bank and threatened to expose the cashier if the stolen money was not returned immediately to him. According to a reliable source, the bank manager, whose office is situated close to the banking hall, overheard their argument and invited them into his office. While interviewing both parties, the female cashier consistently denied involvement in the crime and vowed to deal with the victim if his allegations were eventually prove to be false.

However the cat was let out of the bag during the hot exchange of words and the mobile phone of the cashier rang persistently and she refused to answer the call. While she was fidgeting, the bank manager suspected foul play and ordered the cashier to answer her call, using the amplified speaker. After much reluctant, she finally picked the call, it was the voice of the excited robber from the other end, telling the cashier the operation was successful. 

He told the cashier to meet him at the designated location to collect her share after the close of work. The cashier became speechless after the call as tears of shame and guilt streamed down her face. The state police public relation Mr. Ralph Uzoigwe, when contacted said he had not received any complain from the bank and promised to reach the reporters as soon as the information got to him. It was learnt that the bank was handling the incident internally to avoid a dent to its image.
