People have been given stern warning to be careful anytime they enter the bank to deposit money.
A man identified as Nnamdi Ikeh-Akabogu has narrated how a robber
made away with N650,000 belonging to Bank Customers in the
Apapa-Warehouse Branch of Diamond Bank in Lagos State after disguising
as a Bank Staff.

"INTELLIGENT ROBBERY, WITHIN BANKING HALLS:
“I have a neighbour who sells foodstuffs. She travelled for the
new year so so instructed a relation to pay in the money(130,000) into
her Diamond Bank Account…
She was in the Banking Hall, Warehouse Branch, Apapa, with the
money in her bag. While filling her teller, someone asked her if she was
paying in & at which she said yes. She later joined the long pay-in
queue.
After a moment, and with d queue practically not moving, a
young man, dressed in corporate suit (all thought was the Bank’s
cashier) came close to her and in a low voice asked for people who were
paying above 100,000.
About five people stepped out and he asked them to follow him a
few meters away from the queue. They all thought he was the Bank’s
staff, out to offer help.
He collected all their money, the completed tellers and asked
them to wait on the line, so he can go in and stamp their tellers…..
And so the man left. They waited and waited endlessly, not
knowing that he had long exited the Bank,through the rear exit, with
their over #650,000.00.
It was after d seemingly unending wait they decided to report d
matter to the Manager,who had to come down… checked the CCTV footage
and behold, the gentleman in suit, was neither the Bank’s cashier nor
even a staff !
The security guard confirmed it was the third time such was happening in that same Branch alone !
My fellow Nigerians, we must BEWARE of activities of fraudsters, particularly in the Banking Halls !!
We should please share to avoid more people falling victims.”
