Update: How I helped robbers in foiled Abuja bank robbery- Bank Staff



Update: How I helped robbers in foiled Abuja bank robbery- Bank Staff

Larry Ehizo, a Customer Service Officer of a first-generation bank in Abuja, has told the police how he got involved in last Saturday's failed bank robbery attack in Mbappe, a surburb in the Federal Capital of Territory.

 

Larry who was paraded before newsmen at the FCT police command headquarters, said the mastermind of the robbery, one Ernest, who is at large, had threatened to kill him, his girlfriend and his family if he did not help him and his gang members to rob the bank. The 30-year-old University of Abuja graduate, said he drove the five robbers into the bank premises in his vehicle.

 

In his words

“I met a friend (Ernest) in November and we had a discussion where we used to hang out and I said something after he complained about our services in the bank and we almost got into a serious argument and I told him that the only thing he would do is get angry and maybe not bank again with us. He said he was going to hurt someone and I told him not to do that. That the highest he can do is to do that or maybe rob the bank to make them feel bad.

I did not know he had that on record and he used that to threaten that after some time that I must take the people that he would bring into the bank.  He threatened my family, myself and even the people around me. Even my girlfriend. After that, I was afraid to go to the police because he said even if I go to the police that he had already informed his colleagues and because he is a cultist and he said that anything I get after that I should take it.

“That is when he brought them. I still begged him and he went as far as my family house and threatened to kill them. He now brought them on that day that I should take them in and tell them what to do.

“He even followed to the bank but escaped when they caught them. He insisted I take my car to take them inside the place and that was the only thing I was supposed to do and leave the rest for them to do. The person is at large. His name is Ernest.

I didn’t report to the police because of the threat. He actually brought his fellow cultists to my house and threatened me and my girlfriend that I must take them. He said he was going to give them N7 million. He said I was going to get 20 per cent and I told him I did not want anything.

He said I must collect it. I am a Customer Service Officer. I have been with the bank for over two years. If I had gone to the police I would not have been here talking now. Members of my family also would not be. He knows my family house and knows where I stay personally at Mpape.

He waited to see when we entered inside and he immediately called me and I did everything out of fear of not dying and not having anyone dying because of me. Ernest is a customer at the bank. He comes around. There is a place I go to hang out in Mpape. He is a barman there. He sells drinks.

On normal situations, we have sat down to have drinks. We discussed football, family and how to move forward. He is a barman''.

 

One of the suspects, 24-year- old Princewill Obinna, said Larry and the said ''Ernest'' assured him and the other robbers that it would be an in-and-out operation.

 

‘I was among those people that robbed the bank. It happened that Mr Larry invited us. Mr Ernest met us and told us there is a job we wanted to do but he would connect us to the person that had the work. I asked him who the person. So he called me and introduced us to Mr Larry, who told us that there is an event that he wants us to carry out that Ernest has been troubling him. That if only we can successfully do it, that he and Ernest have the background and survey, that they are going to guide us. That it is going to be stressless (sic) and that within some minutes we are going to wrap up the deal.

I said what was the deal about and he said it was a bank. I was shocked and said I have never done such before. He said we should not worry that there is a vehicle that is tinted and nobody would see us and that everyone would be okay. He asked if I know some persons that can help us and I said I had friends that come around and they said okay. They also never wanted to do it but we all agreed at the end of the day. That is how we came to find ourselves there.

“The message came to me on Tuesday and the operation was on Saturday. So we were just thinking about what they told us that it would be easy and they would give us money. They promised to give us N7 million to share. I coordinated the other boys. The ammunition we took there was a local pistol that our late friend (robber who was shot) brought. He said he would be the one to stand at the gate and that I should hold this one and threaten the Mobile man'' he said

 

According to the police, no money was stolen during the attack.

All what you said isn’t justified you to rob the bank that we’re placing food on your table. You shudnt have reported that stupid guy to the police ,even with the date or your plan towards the operation. But yourself also wanna rich overnight which I can strongly says , you knew deeply what the robbery operations will give birth to. ( Riches overnight) You were even so stupid n brainless to have come with your personal car for the operations. Bru face the music all alone but just being painful you put yourself n family to shame and years of study completely wasted now and rest of life will be spend in jail. Good luck to new adventure to your growth.

Lie! Lie! Lie! And there are so many of this sort of guy in most of the banks; giving out info to hoodlums who rob innocent customers once they leave the banking halls. The banks and regulatory agencies should do an in-house vetting of bank staff from time to time.

These ones are so foolish. Good they got caught. You want to rob a bank, you planned your attack during the festive season where security will be so tight. You wanted to rob a bank, you didn't plan how you would deactivate the CCTV system and any communications equipment. You planned to rob a bank with local pistol. You guys are a bunch of jokers. I would say they should release you for playing a huge joke on the police.. Go and learn how to rob. You no dey watch american movies? Go and watch Den of Thieves or The Town
