[NEWS] FEMALE BANKER SENDS ROBBERS AFTER CUSTOMER AFTER WITHDRAWING 5 MILLION

A female cashier working in a new generation
bank along New Market Road, Onitsha, Anambra
State has landed 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 bandits who operated on two
motorcycles while waiting to board a vehicle to
his destination. After being dispossessed of the
money, Daily Sun gathered that the victim
became suspicious of the role played by the
female cashier as no other person knew about
the withdrawal and he hurried back to the bank
in anger 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 was 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 allegation was
eventually proved to be false. However, the cat
was let out of the bag during hot exchange of
words when 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.
When she finally picked the call after much
reluctance, it was the voice of the excited robber
from the other end telling the cashier that 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. When
contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of
the state, Mr. Ralph Uzoigwe, said he had not
received any complaint from the bank and
promised to reach the reporter as soon as
information got to him.
It was learnt that the bank was handling the
incident internally to avoid a dent to its image.
